I woke up early smelling cinnamon and with poor balance on my right side and pounding headache. Has anyone had an aura like this. My family members did not smell cinnamon. I think the smell is what woke me up because it was so strong.

thanks,

I woke up yesterday with a strong smell of burnt Irish Cream.
I've been diagnosed with epilepsy for the last 31 years (1979) and have never had THIS kind of aura before.
The smell got stronger as the day went on.
I started out with a mild headache ~ then it eventually went away and the smell got stronger. I wonder if this had anything to do with my fall down the stairs b/c I think I might have had a seizure.
I also have balance issues.
