Hi ,
So i got diagnosed with vasovagal syncopy in march after having fainting spells for 2 years ,by a neurologist i had loads of test i.e.eeg and MRI to rule out epilepsy and was told that i was not epileptic.
However there was a lot of things i did not tell him i was experiencing for example ;my worsening memory,forgetting things mid sentence and getting a memory block ,zoning in and out of conversations,getting a floating feeling that would last 5-10 minutes,The metalic like taste in my mouth that would make me feel sick/be sick.
Then in november i had my first "TV" style fit after telling my mates i could smell burning toast just before i passed out.I came round and it apparently took me ages to even be able to say 1 word and even longer to be able to put a sentence together.My mates did not ring an ambulance because they know how much i dislike hospitals.The next day i decided to go to my early morning lecture dragging my self out of bed i sat down in the lecture room and apparently went of the side of my chair and hit the back of my head of the wall.I was taken to hospital and told that my neurologist would be in contact i was realised after i had had another 1 in the hospital.I have since been to hospital twice more with these seizures one i was told that as my MRI had come back clear i was faking it for attention.
I have not seen my neurologist yet but i did go back to my doctors and tell them having a mini break down telling them all my symptoms she said that it could still be epilepsy even if my MRI came back clear.
Sorry this is long i just wanted to know if anyone had any advice for the smell or the metallic taste or just to know if i am going mad or not
