I've startd having sort of aura seizures, one's that I don't blank out during. Which for me is a good thing. Sometimes however I don't realize that I've had it until I've come completely out of it though. But this is still better than just going right into the seizure with no warning and not knowing that I've had it at all unless someone saw me have it or I get a horrible migraine. The migraine is a sure sign that I've had a seizure.

During these aura seizures I'll be dizzy and confused about things that are going on and sometimes still have the migraine after, but the main thing that I have the question about is that I've noticed that my lips will tingle before and during it. Does this happen to anyone else.
 
Yep! It is a strange feeling, isn't it? All I want to do is rub them until it stops.
 
Thats probably because during seizures, people tend to not breathe normally or even hold their breath. So your lips start to lose oxygen, and because its the area where the blood is closet to the surface, you'll feel numb there first.
