Hi guys

I'm male 25 and have recently suffered from seizures, a lesion of some sorts was found on my right frontal lobe. I have underwent surgery but it has not been confirm if it was successful and my next MRI won't be for at least six months.

I'm on 2000mg of keppra per day which I respond log ok to. I have not seen a neurologist to date but am expected to see one in the next few months(a epileptic nurse prescribed me keppra). I was walking down the street today and started to feel very strange, nose starting burning and visuals and hearing went all funny. My heart starts racing which I think was due to me getting a bit panicked. I have been with my GP a few times but he has very little knowledge in this area.

I'm thinking of going to A and E and describing the symptoms I was having in the hope that i can see a neurologist straight away.

Would this be advised?
Any additional advice greatly appreciated as I'm very new to this situation and my knowledge and experience is limited.
