Are these symptoms related to Epilepsy

I was diagnosed with Primary Generalised Epilepsy after getting an abnormal EEG result.I  It seems to be controlled. However lately i am having some odd symtoms (symptoms) which i am not sure are conncected to my epilepsy or not.When i am concentrating very hard and focused on doing a task - eg. typing on a keyboard or writing in class - it feels like my head is shaking (just a little) or spining and my eyes sort of roll and sometimes blur. I have to stop for a minuite and then carry on again but it doesnt really go away until i actually quit what im doing and relax and not do as much action. What is this? Is it a symptom of epilepsy? Or just bad concentration and tiredness?

Also is the 'flat affect' or 'blunt affect' got anything to do with epilepsy? I am feeling this symptom quite strong and find it very uncomfortable.

Thank you.

Hey, I have Epilepsy and have done alll my life and used to suffer and still occassionaly do with what you describe with your head shaking ect I find this usually happens to me when i am haing a bad epilepsy day i.e i am going to have a fit or have had a fit. I used to and still do find it a bit scary but the moment passes, My doctor told me it was to do with my Epilepsy as my medication does not control my epilepsy fully i have little moments that arent connected to seizours but are connected to the over reacting brain actiivity such as what you mentioned and dizzy spells or generally felling "not with it" All I can suggest is to see your consultant and talk to them about it they may give you another ECG scan or varies other tests ive had them all and NONE of them are scary so dont worry there. If you dont want to do that just yet try laying off the computer and trying not to get to stressed as your brain might find this a strain give you these off moments, see if laying off the computer helps at all if not see your consultant you may need stronger medication.
