Question: Hi

I was diagnosed with Epilepsy 10 years ago. It erupted as a result of brain scare tissues that were the result of encephalitis contracted at the age of 2 years old.

After a serious of drug combinations, my condition was finally stabilised with differing dosages of pregabalin and lomatrigine. Stabilisation could be noted as beginning about 5 years.

During this period I've experienced a couple of absences which lasted a matter of seconds and for the most part I remained fully conscious.

However, 2 days ago I was subject to a simple partial seizure in the form of a XXXXXXX vu - usual symptoms associated with the expereince but included the sinking feeling in the stomach.

More worrying, I experienced the same yesterday which was followed by a prolong period of twitching and limb numbness. However, this condition has continued since, varying between involuntary spasms, aching limbs, coldness in the hands, occasional increased palpitations of the heart and a feeling of a stiffened jaw. In the absence of any knowledgeable reasons why this happening, I seek qualified advice.

My concern is that this condition could be a prelude to more complex symptoms or perhaps something even more concerning.

I keep a healthy diet, regular exercise negatively balanced with probably too much social social drinking and stress associated with starting a new company.

As of yet I've not referred these ailments to my General Doctor.

I would welcome a qualified response to my question.

Thanks

As regards my cur

My symptoms have continued to persist with the inclusion of tingling in my fingers and pin and needles troughout the rest of my body.

When I woke up this morning both body and mind were in a relaxed state, however as soon as my mind 'kicked in' the same symptoms returned. My limbs feel weak and this feeling that my jaw may wants to lock has intensified slightly.

Would these symptoms further endorse your opinion insofar they remain consistent with diagnosis of 'anxiety neurosis'.

For information, I had an anxiety attack in my early twenties - body froze and had to be relieved with an injection of a relevant medication.

Thanks
