I'm sorry if this doesn't belong here, I think it may be epilepsy because there is a history of temporal lobe epilepsy in my family.
Hi, the other day after I had lunch, I was sitting at my computer working and I got a weird sensation in my chest, it moved to my back, up my neck, through my head, made my vision go blurry to a kind of tunnel vision, the left side of my face was twitching, and then at the end it felt like someone punched me in the nose. The rest of the day I had a headache and for a few hours the broken nose feeling.
I went to the hospital and they checked my blood pressure, my blood sugar, and did an EKG to rule out a heart problem and all of it was ok. The doctor said to come back monday for more tests and that I will probably need a brain MRI because there is a history of epilepsy and degenerative brain conditions in my family.
I was wondering if this could be epilepsy starting. My mom had temporal lobe epilepsy and she'd get sensory seizures that included a smell. She always had to stop and close her eyes and hold on to something so she wouldn't fall over. I had the sensation like if I had been standing, I'd probably have had to do the same.
The doc seemed pretty concerned and hopefully it's nothing, but does this sound like maybe it could be epilepsy? It was scary and now I don't even want to drive just incase it happens again.
any thoughts?
thanks
