Anyone get seizures like this?
Wed, 10/11/2017 - 07:59Topic: New to Epilepsy.com
I woke up a few weeks ago with blood everywhere, a sore tounge and muscles and a soaking wet bed, it kept happening so I set a camera up on a high shelf in my room.
Basically there was a point where I stopped sleeping as such and my arms clamped down by my side, hand making a tight fist to the point my nails dig into and cut my palms, legs stretched neck stretched back and eyes rolled back into my head. I was also making a kinda grunting sound. After about 15 seconds I relaxed again but then it happened again. All in all I had 8 separate seizures that lasted 7-20 seconds each. Afterwards I'm always really tired and weak for several hrs.
Does it sound like it could be epilepsy???? The only thing I could relate it to is tonic seizures but don't your arms raise above your head for that?
each persons seizures are

each persons seizures are different. If you only have these at night then they could be nocturnal seizures and can land among many seizure types. Get an appointment with your doctor and take the video you have with you. Get them to refer you to a neurologist that specializes in epilepsy
