Usually I awake with blood all over my pillow and face (severely bitten tongue). I have to throw away pillow and get a new one. Then I feel like I have flu in and out that day and the next at times. Takes a while to "come back to earth" so to speak.
 
I also get that fluish feeling. I've only had the nausea twice that I can remember (and remembering, from me, is not so reliable.) But those headaches! If they got any worse I would definitely end up very nauseous.
 
Very lucky headaches have never been a problem for me since the beginning of my epilepsy back in 93'. Now since 2010 my seizures only happen when sleeping, reason being either stress or missing to take my drugs. Unfortunately missed taking my drugs last Tuesday night. Which would eventually cause me to have a seizure while sleeping real early Wednesday morning. Was lucky enough to get bak to bed, but not too lucky when I got up. After eating breakfast I added a medication not for epilepsy which would cause all the throwing up throughout the day. Probably the worst day I've had with seizures and throwing up. Never fun! :(
 
Heck yes
Some of the harshest (but also satisfying) vomit ever.

It often seems a little bloody and seems a bit like if a wrung towel, upon release of torsion, would "shoot out material" and not at all just a throaty barf thing.
Sometimes and certainly this last time the "wrung" seemed down to my deep bowels, and at times I had to get a pendular momentum built up at times built up from what seemed like my rectum... not like it did, but the feeling was there.
 
addendum:
I attribute the "wrung" feeling to being, well, actually still muscularly wrung, and that the un-wringing takes a while as thoughts build back up.
 
I might bite my tongue or my husband might hear me have a seizure at night,and sometime I scream out in my sz's.
