Ask your doctor the next time you visit him/her or else you could ask for their phone number if you have any questions. And I've never heard of this kind of seizures. But well maybe better responses later.
Your welcome @A MyEpilepsyTeam Member . I hope you find the true answer of you seizure. Good lunch with your research on it . Let me know if that was the actual reason or not .
