Does anyone know if this can be a simple partial seizure?
I can't remember exactly when these 'staring' spells started but i have had a lot of head injuries (pebbles in front of head (gr.1), concussion back of head (gr.7), hit head on ice back of head (gr.7),i think there is a couple more but i don't remember...im 15) and i mainly started to notice them after my concussion.
I'm thinking they are simple partial seizures due to my research but im not exactly sure. Randomly i'll stare off for about what feels like 10-25 seconds often at least once a day. I feel relaxed and don't want to come out of it? But with the relaxation also comes weakness, i can make movements and talk, but it takes a lot of effort. I am aware of what's happening around me but im not involved. Also during this whole time, my vision is blurred, kind of like when your about to make yourself go crossed eyed. SOMETIMES, i find myself swallowing just a little or smacking inside my mouth a little at the beginning of the stare but usually stops once i notice or just stops. I usually stop what im doing, or i'll stop ahead of time before i start to stare (i think they are called auras but i don't know what mine is, but sometimes i know when im about to stare). I also usually find myself taking one deep breath in and then breathing it out and not taking another breath until i stop staring, but i dont feel the need to take another breath?
*this isn't included while im staring but ive noticed in the past month give or take that i've had a lot of little minor twitches in my body, and not often but sometimes i all os a sudden feel my eyes move back and forth really fast for what feels like a split second.
could these be simple partial seizures?
I also heard that simple partial seizures don't show up well on EEGs, i've had one but it came back normal?
