Is this a panic attack or Epilepsy?
ok so since I was a child (I am now 17) i occasionally get a random ‘attack’. it usually happens when I’m going to sleep or doing something low-key like reading but mostly when I am by myself, I dont feel it coming I have about 5 seconds where I feel my mind kind of slipping into it..
Basiclly what happens is everything goes very fast like fastforwarding everything i see think and hear, there’s a drumming and breathing sound inside my head which is very loud and i feel like i have this indescribable expression (always the same) on my face which turns in on me inside my head (best I can do to explain it).
It doesnt happen often maybe like 10 time a year but usually comes a few times in one month. I have had it doing school work before and in a maths exam.
Once I feel it coming I find it very difficult to get out of, it gets faster and faster, like I am experiencing something very different. It will go if i distract myself and dont think about it. But it is definatley either happening or not, so there is no I’m kind of having it only the few seconds before it starts. It is not relaxing.
I dont take drugs, perfectly healthy, no mental illnesses
any idea what this could be ? please help
You should consult a doctor. It doesn’t sound like a panic attack.
If it is either one, it is definitely not good to be experiencing this so often. Especially if this is a seizure. Repeat seizures can damange your brain, and definitely need to be treated
