anyone else made scary noises during a seizure ?


Hi all. There is one symptom that Ive only actually had twice to my knowledge that I have not told anyone because it scared me alot.

I decided to open up and ask on a post here, because I thought perhaps it might free me of this burden.

The first time it happened (to my knowledge) was about a year ago. It was during a complext partial seizure.. I was half aware...

Basically I made a noise I cant really explain but it was .. and I hate to say this... to me...sounded like a demon or something. I heard like a screech of some kind. (note.. I do not have tonic clonic's)

Then about 3 weeks ago it happened again. I heard myself make a noise like a hissing noise that sounded so horrible

Its kinda scared me a little... scared me of myself and has put fear into my heart..

Was wondering if anyone else has had something similar happen ?

Granted.. I could be hearing things becuase Im in a partial seizure.. but I recognise my mouth moving during making these sounds. Im just unable to do anything about it.

Although it's a bit less common, people do make weird noises, screams, and moans during complex partials. Has anyone else heard you make this noise? Maybe you could record the sound?

Just as experiment, I would recommend concentrated meditation focused on changing the hissing sound to your favorite song or something benign like "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". "Plan" to make it less scary, or go away entirely.

When I was a kid, I did this.

My mother said I sounded like a dog growling, and it sounded realistic.

I scream just as the seizure starts - first one was simple partial motor onset, secondarily generalized into tonic clonic; all others have been simple partial motor, no tonic clonic. The first one scared me so badly when I felt it coming on that I meant to scream, but wasn't sure if anything came out because I was already starting to black out. My dad said that I screamed three times. In fact, that's usually the pattern; I feel it coming on, I scream three times. The first time I wanted to scream, but other times I don't mean to. However, one of the last times I had a seizure, my dad says I screamed about 12 times. Even though I don't think I ever lost conciousness, I certainly don't remember screaming that much. I had been doing yard work and my dad says that he heard the first 3 and thought I was having a seizure, but then I continued to scream, so he thought I had seen a snake or something. It really shocked me when he told me I had screamed 12 times!
