Do you have a jaw spasm that will happen suddenly out of the blue and cause you to bite your tongue extremely hard?

Nods when you have clonic tonic seizure (grand mals) you tend to do that but there is another kind of seizure called partial seizures that make you jerk real quick and you have a jaw spasm...it only last a short time and you keep conscious

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member mone are usually right before or after bed. I dont know if I have them while I'm sleeping or not (waiting on the results from a sleep study for that) but I don't bite myself. My jaw usually twitches open not closed thankfully.
