What Causes The Frequent Attacks Sporadically During The Nights?
I have, what I call, attacks sporadically. I have it usually at night and months can go by and I start thinking it's not going to happen again. It feels like there's, like prisoners being executed, a wet sponge in my head and someone connected electricity. And it doesn't stop for hours and hours. Nothing stops it unless I take a bunch of sleeping pills.

Hello
Looks like a kind of abnormal electric dischage in brain- kind of seizure disorder.
It gets better with sleeping pills also points in same direction.
Get an EEG and MRI Brain and starting an anti epileptic drug is required.
Something like- eptoin 300mg at night or oxcarbazepine 300mg twice a day will help you a lot. It will be best to get the reports checked by a neurologist.
Hope this helps you and makes you good.
