Hi everyone, my name is Rose and i am 25.I think i experianced a seizure last night in my sleep. when i woke up this morning i thought it was just a dream but when i started to remember more i got a bit worried and thought it would be a good idea to seek some advice.i would be greatful for any advice or reasurence that it was not a seizure.i will start from the begining.i live on my own with my 4 year old daughter so there was no one to witness this event.
At about midnight i decided to go to bed,i felt like i had been in bed about 5 or 10 mins when i started to hear the washing machine on downstairs in the kitchen,it was really starting to bother me...like i couldnt sleep,but it doesnt usually bother me as i often set the washing machine away before i go to bed.but as i was listening to it i started to rememer that i hadnt switched the washing machine on so it cant have been that....but i didnt get up for some reason to check why i could hear the noise,it was odd...i felt i was drifting off to sleep with all this noise around me,as i was drifting off to sleep i felt like the house was shaking....then i started to feel dizzy in my dream...but i felt like i was only half asleep like it wasnt time to dream yet..the next thing i remember was dreaming that i was standing in my mums kitchen and feeling really dizzy then collapsing and then going into what seemed a typical epileptic seizure...i was staring at my mum when i had the seizure in my dream and was trying to ask her to help but just muffeld sounds were coming out...my body was shaking,it seemed to last for about 10 seconds and then i woke up...i remember being worried that i had wet myself but i hadnt...i then felt like i was really scared,but not because of the dream i had just had but just a sense of being scared for no reason,i dont know why i didnt get up or question why the house was shaking or why i could hear the washing machine when it wasnt on, i just kind of went with it...i also just felt like before i got dizzy that everything was speeding up,like the outside world and i was just lying in bed... it was all just really weird and then i must of fallen asleep properly and woke up as normal around 7.
I feel almost silly posting on here but i just feel really weird about what happend,i would be greatful for any advice,even for somene who is epileptic to say i am being daft and that it was nothing.
thankyou
Rose.
