It sounds like there are some new and unsettling symptoms showing up after focal aware seizures — that's worth paying close attention to, and definitely worth bringing up with a neurologist.

The postictal phase (recovery after a seizure) can bring on a wide range of physical and emotional symptoms. These can include:

- Confusion or disorientation
- Nausea or upset stomach
- Extreme tiredness
- Headache or body pain
- Memory loss
- Emotional responses like crying

Hyperventilating and crying after a seizure can both be part of the postictal experience, as the brain and body are working hard to recover and reset. Regarding blood sugar dips — low blood sugar can disrupt the brain's normal balance of signals, which may influence seizure activity. It's not fully understood why some people are more affected than others, but it's a real connection worth exploring with a doctor.

Tracking symptoms alongside meals and blood sugar levels could help identify a pattern to share with a healthcare provider. They may be able to adjust a treatment plan accordingly.
