Am I having seizures?!
Question: Am I having seizures!?
!.!.!. When I'm about to fall asleep, or am dozing off, I suddenly!.!.!.can't move!. I feel paralyzed; I can't move my arms, legs, head!.!.!. I can't breathe right, and I have to breathe really hard through my nose!. if I stop trying I feel as if I'm falling asleep or knocking out, but I know something is not right, because I stop breathing period!. My eyes either cross or they roll to the back of my head, and the only way I can "get out of it" is by shaking my foot, which is, for some reason, the only thing I can move!. Sometimes I have a very strong buzzing in my ear!. Afterwards, I sill feel incredibly drowsy and if I try to fall asleep, it happens again!. When I stand up, I'm dizzy, and I'm drowsy the rest of the day, or at least very depressed!. My doctor says it has to do with stress, but it happens when I'm about to fricking RELAX and FALL ASLEEP! THE HELL!?!?!?!!! Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would certainly get a second opinion from a doctor that's not going to resolve to saying that those symptoms are due to stress!. Please go to another family doctor and perhaps he or she can give you a referral to a neurologist who can send you for some test to rule things out such as an eeg (electroencephalogram) which tests brain waves and can diagnose seizure disorder, a cat (computerized axial tomography) scan of the head and other routine tests!. I would agree that if having those symptoms now, go to the ER!. Just fyi that the eeg doesn't always show seizure activity even if that's going on, but a test called a Qeeg is supposed to be more specific and is called 'brain mapping'!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes!. I would definitely get another opinion on that!.
If it happened at another time!.!.!. say when you actually are asleep, it could be fatal!.
go straight to Emergency and refuse to leave until someone gives you a better diagnosis than stress or at least tells you how to make it go away!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Try sleeping with your feet and head elevated above your heart or maybe aroma therapy!. It may be the accumulated stress through out the day that your doctor is talking about and you need to avoid the cause of that stress!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i thought i had some problems too!. and im only 14 so im not 100 percent sure but i went to a neurologist and they did this test to see if i had the seizure that is most common!. what you do is get a partner and get them to time u for 3 minutes!. get a piece of paper, hold it with two hands and bring it about 6 inches from your lips and just keep blowing at it for three minutes!. while u are doing it, have your partner say random words to you such as "butterfly" or something and see if u repeat it back to her!. if anything happens during this such as the feelings u have been getting!. go to the doctorWww@Answer-Health@Com
