I get hiccups. Normally it's when I'm tired or stressed out. After the hiccups I usually have a blackouts.

After I had brain surgery, I started having tonic clonic seizures. Before that I had an array of the smaller ones. Was on keppra for about 2 months. Saw my neurologist and he subscribed Briviact. And then he added aptiom. My triggers are stress, being hot, extreme cold, crowded places and too much noise. Recently I've been having pseudoseizures. They come on real quick and look like a tonic colonic but I'm fully awake.
