I do not suffer from seizures and have never had one before as far as I am aware anyway but seizures do run in my immediate family, having affected 2 of my sisters in the past though not for a some time.
Anyway last night after I had been using the computer for some time I suddenly got a pounding headache and my brain started to feel wierd. I turned off the compputer and lay down to rest on my bed. Within minutes my vision was distorted and I was feeling a little eurphoric. Things in the room started to look hazy and 'soft' in colour and in light. I could also feel my body trembling but not shaking. It started with my left hand and then down my arm. I just felt trembly. I don't think I could have spoken but never tried and my heart seemed to be racing but missing beats too - it was just really wierd. The whole thing only lasted a few minutes and I never lost consciousness but was aware of not really being able to control anything. Afterwards I was so tired and couldn't stay awake. I slept for a few hours and woke up early hours feeling irritable and confused, but managed to go back to sleep. I slept in for work but did eventually go to work feeling very spaced out and confused at times.
So back to my question really - could this have been a partial seizure? Has anyone has experiences of this or could it just be anxiety?
Any thoughts would be helpful.
Thanks
