Could I have epilepsy?

Hi guys,

So I might be completely wrong, but me and my step-sister think I may have epilepsy.

I have 3 brothers with epilepsy, and my dad is currently being tested too as he has 'seizure' like movements in the night.

My step sister recently moved in to my bedroom with me, and she has told me that i have convulsed in the night, and i often wake up feeling restless and occassionally incontinent. Is this worth going to my GP about? Other than the tiredness it isn't affecting my life and the incontinence could be a coincidence since i have had bladder problems for the last year, but seeing as i have such a family history, it's something i want to consider..

Thank you

    Hi I would definitely see your dr about this and take your sister with you as a witness as to what she saw happen when you were convulsing. Take care.
