Could this be Epilepsy?

My symtoms are:  

1.  Strange taste and smell that lasts all day long.  It is sometimes alleveiated by lying down for at least 30 min. or so.
     (Prior to this happening, I feel moderately irritated and shaky on the inside)

2.  Slight electrical wave-like sensations - sometimes on my scalp or left upper chest / upper arm area.

3.  Nerve twitching inside my left ear drum that can last almost all day.

4.  Periodic and random nerve and small muscle twitches in various areas of my body that can last for hours or    almost all day.

5.  On occassion, upon awakening from a daytime nap, I could hear everything going on (TV, etc.) but am paralized unable to open my eyes etc. and then go into a hallucinatory experience at the same time.  The only way I can come out of it is to fall back into sleep and awake.

6.  On occassion while fully awake; for a split second, with no warning, I have felt like I moved slightly outside my body on the left side.

7.  On occassion, my eyesight appears grainy or like there's electrical currents flowing.
