Did I have psychogenic nonepileptic seizures?
I'm a daytrader that uses a lot of money and lots of leverage. Sometimes when the trade goes against me which results in tens of thousands of dollars a day in loses I get so angry that it's like I have a seizure in rage. The "seizure" lasts for about 10 seconds. When I'm this angry other things happen like my entire face turning red, eyes turning red, hand trembling, rapid heart beating, strong breathing like I'm running a marathon, extreme sweating that results in my shirt getting soaked, cursing at the computer monitor, slamming the computer desk, staring at the floor and ignoring everything, and feeling so cold that I put a heater right next to me. Also during these very stressful times I usually can't get any sleep sometimes not sleep at all because I want to keep watching the futures market to see where my position is going and the futures market trades afternoon sunday to late friday 24 hours a day. I also have many other problems that will probably make you start laughing so I'll stop now. Did I have psychogenic nonepileptic seizures? If not what would cause me to do that?? When I have this seizure it's like I lose control of all my muscles even breathing. But if I wasn't so angry then I would have control and so regain control when I'm not that angry.
What does it feel like to have a seizure?
I have had seizures since I was 18, but on average have only about 1 or 2 a year. So I consider myself fortunate compared to those who have these daily. I have been diagnosed as "epileptic" and am 42 now.I have grand mal (tonic seizures). When I was in college, I had one in the shower and it was so violent it literally knocked out tiles in the wall. You could see the piping of the shower. My roommates and I were pretty impressed. They haven't been as violent as that since then - though, I have banged my head and body pretty good though. I've fallen onto train tracks, for example.Biting of the tongue is common. By the way, never insert anything in the mouth of an epileptic. It is impossible to swallow your tongue, and you're more likely to damage their teeth. Another by-product of seizures can be loss of control of bladder and bowels (fortunately I haven't had this problem).Many people have an "aura" before they have a seizure. Where they see trails of color in front of them. Perhaps they will sense a smell of almonds or something. I have no such luck. One second I am clicking my mouse, the next second I am looking up at a stretcher with a paramedic asking me stupid questions. It happens that fast and lasts about 4 minutes.Now, you might think they're stupid questions, but for the life of me, I can't answer them: "Who is the President of the United States?" "What is your name?" It takes several minutes before the mental fog lifts.No driving as I don't want to risk ANYONE'S life just to drive up to the 7-11 and I take the train to work, car pool, or Uber.If you ever see anybody go through a seizure, just know this, "There is no pain involved during a seizure." I describe it to my kids that I am basically sleeping through it. Which I essentially do because I have to rely on others as to exactly what happened.Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions. I would be glad to help.@kstagg…
Can a tooth decay problem cause a brain seizure?
I had a brain seizure about a week ago, and had to go to the hospital. I'm fine now, but the doctors are still running tests to see why this happened. The typical tests all came back negative, like lupus, aids, etc...I was wondering cause I have a broken tooth that has been needing a root canal a while ago, if that had anything to do with that, or if anyone has heard of anybody having a seizure as a result of a tooth decay. Just curious, other than that I'm a health person, I don't smoke, and drink wine only on certain occasions.
Is my Pomeranian having a seizure/heat stroke?
He's a full bred pom, 1 year, 1 month old. I've had him since he was 8 weeks and hes never done this before. Before it started he started yelping loudly as if in pain and running around the room before cowering somewhere (a corner or between my legs/lap) then he chilled out after i took him outside cause I thought he had hurt his leg but it turned out to be fine. I took him back in (and it's decently hot out today and yeserday we were both out all day) and he layed in a corner then fell to his side and rolled to his back in spazzes. All 4 legs were straight the whole time. And he's panting really hard. I put him in the bathroom to put some semi cold water on him to cool him down then he started doing it in the bathtub (he usually hates baths but he's calm until the spazzes) also, his eyes are bugging out when he has whatever is happening. Is it a seizure? Heat stroke? What can I do to stop them?
