I noticed lately that my lips will start to tingle and when they do I won't feel right (alot of you probably know what I mean by this). I don't blank out like I do when I usually have a seizure most of the time. It will just last for maybe as long as 5 minutes and then go away and I feel normal again.

Is this a seizure?

I have a VNS too and when I start feeling this way I'll use the magnet and won't get that 'tingle' in my throat. When I use the magnet and I'm not having a seizure that 'tingle' will be there and I'll start coughing like crazy (those of you with a VNS probably know what I mean). But when I am having a seizure, and I don't blank out so I realize it, then I won't have that 'tingle' or start coughing. Also when I'm having a seizure where I blank out and someone else uses the magnet on me I don't have that 'tingle' and start coughing until I'm out of the seizure. This is why I'm wondering if those little things that I'm having could be a sort of seizure.
