Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong section. I'm not exactly "new", I registered 2 and a half years ago about but I only made 1 post so I thought it would be okay to post in this section anyways. As the title indicates, I'm wondering about the possibility that maybe I'm having nocturnal seizures and that temporal lobe epilepsy is causing them. About 3 years ago I had an EEG that said I had left temporal lobe activity and I got two different opinions from different neurologists. One said it was normal for my age and the other noted short sharp spikes of activity or something like that but said I didnt have epilepsy. I was never diagnosed and tried to go on with my life but lately I've been running into problems again. I got my first eeg in 3 years on June 19th and the results from that, much to my surprise, turned up normal. It's surprising because I actually feel worse than I did when I got my first eeg 3 years ago. Even though the results were normal I'm not convinced, which is why I also had my first MRI in 3 years like the EEG this last monday and am waiting for the results. Along with worsening symptoms I've also had a few strange occurences lately which is what I'm mainly inquiring about here. There's two in particular that especially were alarming. About a month or two ago I was sleeping one night and woke up and was panicking immediately. I couldn't stop and felt like I couldn't remember anything. At the time the only way I remember how I described it was that "things werent adding up in my head". It felt like I was extremely disconnected from reality and couldnt come back. That eventually subsided but then the next strange occurence is even more concerning. On the very night of the EEG, I went to sleep in the living room on the floor. I again, woke up to panicking but this time when I awoke and looked around I also noticed immediately that everything I looked at looked huge. It was terrifying. It was like everything was close to me and giant in size. That also stopped shortly afterwards but it's very concerning. (I also need to note that before waking up to panic and having the strange hallucination or whatever it was, according to my mom who was also there I made a "vibrating" or groaning sound in my sleep before waking up). Along with those strange incidents I've been feeling worse cognitively, like worsening short term memory. Also have worsening depersonalization/derealization symptoms (this is why I originally got neurological testing done 3 years ago), feeling dizzy, nauseous, blurry vision, hypersalivation, unexplained random panic attacks, confusion, just a general feeling that something is very wrong, even at times feeling like its hard to walk or think, and all kinds of other stuff. There's even more symptoms and feelings I could type but I dont want this to get too long. I hope someone could please tell me if any of this sounds like I might be having nocturnal seizures or could have TLE. -thanks
