You may just be having a panic attack.  Have you been through stressful times recently?  Take big deep breaths, in through the nose and out through the mouth.  When you inhale, imagine inhaling calm.  When you exhale, imagine letting out stress.  Keep this up for a few minutes.  If it's just a panic attack, then it should go away.  If this doesn't make it go away, then you need to call for help.\n\nhttp://www.angelic1healing.com

have you had EEGs done?  How about a sleep study?  I need more info in order to answer that.  Blood sugar could be low.  Blood pressure either high or low.  How old are you?  Could be seizures or narcolepsy..... the only way to explain them without seeing any more info is to just go ask your doctor.

a seizure is a hereditary disease. there aare  many kinds, and two main ones are pettimal and grammal. pettimal is when your eyes roll up and you blank out unintensionally for a few seconds-min. the people who have them dont realize anythings wrong if they haven't had a EEG. grammal is the convulcious deadly kind and you are unconcious during them. pettimals can lead to these. there asre many more kinds. natural cures rarely happen if you dont take medicine. sometimes if you do, it goes away, sometimes it doesnt. any food that has potassium, especially bananas can help, not cure though. (sadly enough)

I have been having seizures for 19 years now they started out with being hard to learning on my own yes I have doctors but have they had seizures far and between.\n\nSo I had to find away to control them during all this I fought them from taking part of my memory.\nSo I started doing different things like focusing on one thing instead of five.\n\nSee seizures are cause from to much on the mind at one time doctors told me it was because I had bumped my head see it a guessing game to them it takes someone to learn how to work the mind.\n\nI will explain make sure you son takes his medicine first of all always Okay when he feels abnormal tell him to not try to talk just get someone attention by throwing something down to make noise are waving the best way he can than!!!\n\nFocus on something if that one thing don't work than get him to focus on something else fast theres no time to waste, pencil. book, picture what ever the mine thing is to get only one thing on his mind not 4 or 5 Okay!!\n\nI have learn myself from going into 4 or 5 a week to 1 or 2 ever 3 or 4 years mind over matter, mind over matter remember that.\n\nThe person he gets attention from someone let him know before hand of this also but talk lightly to him in a seizure talk about the moon are something get him focus if you notice I keep going back to being focus [ because this is the key the only key  ].\n\nTo bring himself out of the begainning of the seizures once he works a few out tell him to keep working on it, one more thing if he can try to never go to the ground hold on to someone the wall what ever try to NEVER hit the ground. \nSo there two things for him to do FOCUS on one thing to distract him off the seizures & fight back stand up he can when this all will not stop at one time but it will help 95% of the time once he learn to controll.\n\nOne more thing [ I won't to tell you theres bad pain having seizures always pray and when he wakes up just keep him cool with a wet rag he will come back its a slow proceess ] Good Luck.\n\n==EDIT==\n\nI go to sleep right after a seizure its good because when I come out of one I'm  weak , bad headaches, and cannot walk good the rest after one for me is sleeping and resting.\nA seizures is very painful and it's hard to focus without rest also.\nFor sure a person should sleep that will be ok the seizures has pass but if they are consist'nt I would sleep on my side, so I would not choke.\n\nWith the "sson" in your question I thought somebody was talking about there son so what I want to do is leave my other answer above because it very helpful for people who have seizures to also learn to controll them I know this first hand I live with this daily.

No! If this should happen, I suggest you visit the Epilepsy Foundation where they can be of legal help to you.

Why did they change it?  My 5 year old has severe epilepsy and has been on every seizure medicine that has been made to no avail.  He now has a vagal nerve stimulator which has helped tremendously.  if you would like to chat to me some more about this feel free to message me

Don't drink! 1st off\n\nYour heart isn't going to stop. you need to go to the doctor and have it checked out and then you will feel better. Are you taking your pulse yourself or have you been told by a doctor that you have a slow heart beat??\n\nWell my heart beats too fast and I get freaked out thinking I'm going to have a heart attack and after all these years I'm still here.\nSo unless you have been told by a doctor you have slow heart rate I wouldn't worry about it.\nJust chill and don't drink. Good lord you wouldn't be able to relax for feeling your heart...:)\nThat was suppose to be funnnny. \nReally I wouldn't drink!\n:)

Take ECG and consult a cardiologist. \nPlease see the webpages for more details on Heart palpitations.

This is such a sensitive question. I admire you for standing by your man in this way. It is the right thing to do. And I would get in touch with the national epilepsy foundation. I know there are resources and maybe even support groups for families or couples dealing with this issue. It is not that uncommon you know. I have actually helped someone when this happened to them. It is a little scary at first, but it is also such a loving time to be there for another human being when they obviously need you. Get some more info. Get into a network of support. I know you will be a great friend.

no, this is too low of a stimulus or intake if it was to be a cause, you could talk to the doctor for possible causes of the exact heart beat problem, good luck

this is something you really need to discuss with a doctor .. there are many circumstances around this .. and you do not want to take advice about something this serious.. \n\nMy daughter had heart surgery, and they were worried about her heart rate as it gets slow at rest .. but because it speeds back up to normal when she moves they say it is okay.. \n\nyes an EKG can be inconclusive.. it is possible the nodes were misplaced ect.. you should have 2-3 done to check for sure.. but you need to see a doctor.. as this is such a serious matter.. any advice given here will pretain your specific issue.

Sounds like mini seizures, this is quite common in seizure activity. You should see your doctor and he will get you to have an EEG, this shows brain way activity, which shows if there is seizure activity. You should really see your doctor because there are many conditions that cause seizure like activity.

Had a seizure one night, when I came out of it, could have sworn I had just died. Don`t know if anyone really believed me or not, nobody was home when it happened except me and the kids. I really felt like I had just been dead though.

You probably have PVCs/PACs, I've had them for a few years and I hate those @@#$@ so much. They feel like an extra beat, flip flop, or fast double beat right? I think its recommended that you be evaluated by a cardiologist to make sure you dont have any heart defects. The vast majority of cases though either just happen for no apparent reason, anxiety/stress related, potassium/calcium/magnesium imbalance in your blood, or a thyroid problem like they were saying. My doc theyre probably anxiety related too and I didn't think I'm anxious either. A lot of people say beta blockers work for them as well and my doc put me on one but it didn't do anything for me. Never tried an antidepressant/anxiety drug but some people say those have helped them, so go for it if you want. Mine seem to be triggered when I'm under stress, drink, dont get enough sleep, or drink too much caffeine. Exercise seems to reduce them for me, but everyone's triggers are different. You can check out the heart forum at medhelp.org a lot of people have them and have all kinds of weird tips and tricks you can try. I think the best thing to do if they really bother you is keep track of what triggers them and then avoid those triggers if practical.

All three of the medications you are on commonly cause problems with concentration and attention as do uncontrolled seizures. If your seizures are uncontrolled, and you are not tolerating your current medication well maybe its time for a change. A suggestion is to try "Keppra" (Levetiracetam). Its a fairly modern medication which I have found is comparatively strong in controlling fits but remarkably well tolerated causing alot fewer side effects than say Topamax. Many people I have seen on this have been very pleased. Ask your Neurologist about it.

They need to be doing a CT Scan, blood tests etc, I went to the ER because I was fainting and my friend thought that I was having seizures and they did blood tests, and a CT Scan, and they also did an EEG they should be testing this, because there could be something seriously wrong, especially because of her age!! I would make an appointment with her regular doctor and talk this over with him and tell him that you want tests done to see what is wrong, and if they don't do it I would take her elsewhere!  If you have to check out the Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN I live in MN and it is the best hospital in the world!! People come from all over the world to go to the Mayo Clinic!

Seizures are caused by abnormal electrical activity in your brain.  You need to see a neurologist to find out exactly what's going on because there are different types of seizures.
