Electrical impulses

Posted By Anthony on November 19, 1998 at 23:47:54:







this may sound weird, but every once in a while I experience a sensation alike to the knid one gets when being shocked by an outlet.  A sensation rushes trough my body, beginning at my head, sort of like I stick my fingers in an outlet.  This effectively blocks out all other thought processes for the brief second this happens.  It is almost like I black out for a second.  I have to stop and recover when this happens.  However, the feeling does seem to be triggered by certain smells.  
I usually get the feeling when I open a musty closet, enter an old building, or smell chemical odors.  It is pretty overwheming, and it is beginning to worry me.  I am a 17 year old male.  My late uncle and two of my cousins from a different uncle have been diagnosed with epilepsy.
Any thoughts???
thanks
