I Have A Question:

Daytona Beach, FL

I had a stiffness with my whole body then the best euphoria followed by a very terrifying hallucination then the forced thinking of "i am dying" and jumbled up words in my brain that did not make any sense. What type of aura/seizure is this? Im confused.

Rey, you wrote that you were awake and aware the entire time. You knew what felt right and what felt wrong. So it wasn't a simple partial seizure. This was an aura---a strong one. What I do when I have those is step outside and get some fresh air---no matter the weather. I don't care if there's a blizzard going on outside, I open the garage door and step outside. I also bring a chair with me so that I can sit down in case my legs feel like giving out. When you have any type of partial seizure, you lose consciousness for anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes. From what you described, it was a strong aura.

I’m not really sure what it can be. I do get aura seizures sometimes. Sometimes I do try to speak during the the awareness seizures that I get, but I make strange noises like humming. I do also have hallucinations. I sometimes can’t move my hands or legs I don’t shake either. I hope this information can help you understand what is happening. When you see your neurologist please be sure to ask about seizure awareness or focal seizures Your friend from New York Bgrant76

John, this is a question for the neurologist.

Could it be a seizure itself?

i think you have a double combo... a simple partial into a complex partial (focal onset aware into focal onset impaired awareness). heres my link for different types of partial seizures.
