Haven't had a full blown seizure in a long time,thanks to the medications. But there have been times no matter what I'm doing ,I get a dizzy feeling and right afterwards my body gets hot and sweaty. I know where I am. I can talk normal during this. It's just comes on ,I came feel a little strange just before I have ,what I call a spell. Then I get dizzy for about 30 second or so. Right afterwards body gets warm not to the touch. But just feel hot and sweaty. Is this a form of a seizure. Thanks .
