For the past few months, I randomly get this weird sensation throughout my whole body. It is as if I am on a rollercoaster and my stomach drops. I also get this strange feeling in my stomach, down my limbs and up to my head. It is such an odd feeling to describe, but has anyone ever felt anything like this before?

Do you know if you have the auras? You can either Google auras or if you’re on Facebook look up the Epilepsy Education and Support page & Sunday they posted a great list of symptoms educating us about auras & its info on them & I never thought I had them but maybe what symptoms I’m having now are part of it even if I don’t go into an actual seizure. Take a look at it. Good luck. Your friend in Texas, Becky

I find mine to be very useful as sometimes l can be at work when mine begin & l can usually let someone know just incase. It happened about 3wks ago at work & l just straight away sat down on a couch infront of my manager & held her hand & l just said plse talk to me as that just keeps me more focused & usually l come out of it which l did & went bk to work about 5mins later

I had the exact same feelings. They’re “auras” and they can turn into bigger bad seizures where you go unconscious. I had them for a year until I realized it wasn’t just a random panic attack. So maybe more/different medication?
