Possible seizure? Scared and need advice
Firstly I want to apologise if this is the wrong place to post this, honestly I'm nor sure where to turn so I'm hoping someone can help/direct me to the right place. I am not diagnosed with anything but I feel like I may have had a seizure the other night, but am not sure and the doctor really wasn't very informative or helpful. Here's what happened:
A few nights ago I woke up around 2am, checked the time, had some water and checked on my 3 month old. I then lay back down and closed my eyes. Suddenly I felt the strangest thing, I can't explain it, but I went to call out my husband's name and couldn't. I couldn't speak or move, I had the loudest ringing in my ears and it felt like my whole body was shaking. I was aware and it was terrifying. It passed, it was probably not even 10 seconds. Since this has happened I have had nausea on and off, consistent on and off (mostly on) headaches...kind of like a constant pressure/ache. Panadol doesn't help much. I also have random feelings of having cold water poured over my brain. I've been extremely tired, all I want to do is sleep, feeling weak and slightly out of it...like everything is a mental strain. I barely feel like I'm functioning. I also haven't had much appetite. Things haven't been blurry but trying to read makes my head hurt.
Anyway I have never had this before, I don't know what im dealing with, and yes I'm going to get a second opinion. It's been a very stressful time the last 5 months as my husband was diagnosed with a brain tumour and then I had my son 5 weeks early! Please and help or info etc would be greatly appreciated as I am feeling very scared atm xo
