Do I have some type of seizure?

[Shany1994]

Ok so one day I had a migraine and I went downstairs to help my aunt lift her laundry bags, I took a heavy one upstairs when I went to sit down on my bed after putting it down a shooting pain went up from my bottom spine to my neck/head, I started convulsing/spasming and I feel back on the bed for a couple seconds but during that time I found out I couldn't speak or call for help. I just kind of grunted I basically couldn't breathe I wasn't suffocating but I was pushing air out, was it some type of seizure? I had a aunt who had epilepsy and migraines run in the family. Also I have lupus.

Hi there!
It is possible that these symptoms could be due to a seizure. Few other conditions which may mimic seizures are  conversion disorder, panic attacks and migraine attacks. It is difficult to confirm the diagnosis without a clinical examination. Tests like EEG help to detect changes in the pattern of brain waves. CT scan /MRI brain may be done to rule out any structural abnormalities in the brain. Seek medical help. I sincerely hope it helps.
Take care and regards!
