is it normal for hospital staff to ask a lot of questions during a postictal state?

specifically regarding sexual past
I recall this during my recent trip to ER during a span that they say involved status and psychotic seizures
but my blurry recollection is probably minuscule in comparison to what I may have said, at what volume, how 'psychotic' I was in expressing anything or how many people were there, except that my elderly mother was there

as things come back to me (even months later still) I get more mortified at what these things really involved
 
I don't ever remember any medical personnel asking me about my sexual past...before, during, or after a seizure. Or are you saying that you talked about your sexual past during or after a seizure because your brain went crazy on you?
 
it's like I recall these events where people were taunting me and making fun of me - asking me many many questions - and I was postictal fading in/out and slurry - I only remember a few times when it seemed like people were interacting with me when it was not comfortable, disturbing, invasive, psychologically abusive
