What you're describing could be related to a seizure, specifically what's known as the warning phase (called a "prodrome" or "aura") that some people experience before a seizure begins.

Some common warning signs that can happen before or during a seizure include:

- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Nausea (which can cause excess saliva/watery mouth)
- Strange physical sensations
- Feeling unable to move
- Feeling hot or flushed The fact that it went away and then came back more severely is worth paying close attention to. This pattern — where symptoms return stronger — can sometimes indicate seizure activity is escalating.

It's really important to contact your neurologist and describe exactly what happened, including the timeline and how the second episode felt more intense. They may want to review your current treatment or run some tests.

Since your seizures typically happen during sleep, keeping a symptom journal with dates, times, and descriptions like this one can be really helpful for your doctor to spot patterns. 📝
