Hi I'm not sure if I'm having seizures and or epilepsy. I'm 21 and have had these weird jerks all my life. I usually get them when having anxiety attacks. Recently they have gotten very bad and I've got this constant feeling that I can only describe as like I'm about to have a massive seizure (I've never had a grand mal). Two weeks ago I had this massive panic attack and ever since I've been getting this sensation like electricity and or energy is building up in my head and that something bad is going to happen like a massive seizure. Instead I just get a short circuiting sensation and jerk. Can you guys feel when you're about to jerk or get the "I'm about to have a massive seizure" sensation or does this sound like anxiety dumping too much stress hormones in me? I've also been having muscle spasms all over my body and a pressure feeling in my head.
