HELP Did I have a suizure?!


Question:

HELP Did I have a suizure?

Alright last night I was laying on my couch watching television, and my whole body tensed up. It was like every muscle in my body went stiff, my back arched and my head pulled back, I could not move for a few seconds and then it went away just as fast as it came, there was no pain. It happened again today but with my eyes. They forcefully moved and it was like I lost control of my eyes. I could not move them or anything like that and I think that my eyelids were like twitching, this also lasted maybe two seconds and left just as fast as it came.
What is wrong with me.
I am 17, male

Answers:

Have you told your parents yet? You need to. You need to see a doctor a.s.a.p. You might need to go see your family doc, but you can ask him/her to refer you to a neurologist. What you had sounds a LOT like tonic seizure -- NOT a grand mal (tonic clonic). Tonic seizures are when you go stiff, not hit the floor and jerk. Check the site I listed below.

In the meantime, you might want your friends and family to keep an eye on you and record what they see. Is there anything that you're doing at the time these incidents happen? Are you overtired? Keep a list, and seriously, ask people to TELL you what happened, don't just guess. I've kept a seizure journal for the past 21 months. The more information you can give your doctors, the better informed they will be when they make a diagnosis.
