Is this a sezuire?

There has been this odd "activity" I've been going through me. It's really hard to explain but when I do a sudden burst of movement, I feel completely paralyzed for 5seconds. And my arm muscles are "forced" to move upwards(near my head) and my eyes are also "forced" to look to any top diagonal position. I'm 17years, Male, and known to be a Hypochondria-tic. Kinda worried and annoyed, these events would happen for 2-3times weekly, increasingly by the odd month.

Is this epilepsy though? And what can cause these convulsions? And how serious could it get if I was to ignore it? D: I'm aware that you couldn't be a doctor, but the fact that you've already gotten the information may help me even further. And thank you for the response, I really appreciate it.

Hi My name is Joe.  I have the same arm condition but I have had confirmed Gran mal seizures where my whole body would convulse and I would lose consciousness.  Dont be afraid it is 70 % controllable with seizure meds and you can  lead a life normally but I would see a Dr you trust and address the situation with confidence but dont ignore it.

Peace
Joe
