Last Friday, Stacy had an odd experience. I’m not sure if it is related to her epilepsy, Qigong acupressure therapy, both or something else.
In the morning (around 10am), she picked up our youngest son and suddenly felt short of breath. She felt pressure or tightness in the chest. She also got a strong sensation on the mouth as if she had a two 9 volt batteries touching both sides of her tongue. We were concerned that this might be an aura – something she has never experienced before, so she rested on the couch for a while. Fortunately, she did not have a tonic-clonic/grand mal seizure.
Around 11am she started her morning work out routine and mid-way through suffered a severe depression attack. She was crying and scared about some of the irrational thoughts she was having. We talked her through it though and soon she felt normal again.
Around noon she experienced a sharp pain localized in the back right lower area of the head. The rest of the day was uneventful.
