Hi all, really need a chat! and some reassurance before I go to the doctors tomorrow!
I have this ongoing fear of getting epilepsy since September,
well few hours ago, I couldn't get to sleep, I was trying too sleep, I had my eyes closed, and saw some flashing colours or lights, I thought I was dreaming, then the next thing I know is that im shaking fast, I was aware that I was shaking! and could not fully open my eyes during it, I could only open them half way, eventually the shaking stopped and I could open my eyes, I wasn't confused or anything, and never had headaches, I was shitting myself with fear and sweats after,
so I think the shaking lasted for 7-8 seconds, but am not sure whether it was a seizure or just my shaking nerves or normal drifting sleep,
Never had this "shaking" before!
Never had any head injury
Never had epilepsy, neither have family history of it!
anyway, I'm very scared to sleep!
Anyone here have any reassurance to give?
What did I just have? do I have epilepsy ,did I get it out of the blue?
many thanks!
