I have some questions for gathering research on what I may or may not have.
What kind of seizure does this sound like?
I have a long enough warning that I can usually lower myself to the ground. My heart starts to pound and my left hand either grabs something nearby or clenches into a fist. I may or may not clench and unclench it--I'm not aware enough to notice that. I feel tired and groggy afterward. I have them in my sleep--I'll dream I'm having a TC, then wake up with my heart racing, my left fist clenched and feeling confused tired and groggy. A lot of times, I have no memory of before, during and after the event, but sometimes when I don't take my meds I'm aware the whole time, but still feel weird for quite some time afterward. It can take a few hours to get fully back to normal. I only have them once every month or so.
What does it mean if most of the seizures I've had were in my sleep or when I was overheated internally?
Is there any other kind of condition this might be aside from PNES? (I have those, too, but this is different)
I want to cover all my bases and go in prepared.
Thanks for your help, and wish me luck!
