Hey everyone I am new here, not 100% sure I am posting in the right place. I am just dealing with all these new health issues and from my research and family history feel like it could be epilepsy I am just looking for feedback advice. I go to the dr next week but I feel alone untill then in a way.
So I am 25 healthy workout everyday eat right. I had one seziure when I was an infant but never found out the cause so my mother tells me. On my dads side there is a long family history of epilepsy my uncle and cousin both passed away at 35 cause of death was ruled epilepsy. My grandfather and other cousins who are still alive all have epilepsy, my father does not.
Maybe six months ago I started dealing with issues mostly at night one night in the middle of the night I woke up and became aware that my whole body was moveing/shakeing on its own. I could not do anything it only lasted a few secs. I went back to sleep when it was over, the next morning I felt horrible my neck head everything hurt and I was so tired. A few weeks after that in the middle of the night I would wake up in massive amounts of pain, I felt like charlie horses all over my body my legs, chest, face, arms. As soon as I got out of bed I lost my vison screaming in pain woke my fiancee up he took me outside and I was fine. I thought this might have been due to increased weight training and maybe a lack of water. Untill a few weeks ago I got this horrible metallic/blood taste in my mouth and I smelled burning hair it was horrible and I felt like I was shocked by something I mean an electric shock but in my head? I told my dad who forced me to make a drs appt because he said his brother got the blood taste and had the shock feeling before his death. Then yesterday afternoon I got the metallic taste in my mouth and a few hours later I was fine sitting on my bed folding clothes and boom I was hit with massive pain in my head and then my vison was going black I also got dizzy, I told my fiancee and I went to sleep and I am fine today.
Could what I am going through be some form of epilepsy? Honestly I am just scared but I don't want to make a huge deal about this maybe this is something else? Thanks
