Right I cant cope now at all. I don't know who to believe I am worried sick???

Posted , 5 users are following.

I am getting a lot of waves of fear from nowhere which makes my vision go funny. I also get deja vu quite a lot again out of the blue. I have been to see a neurologist who says he does not think it is epilepsy at all but I keep reading things on google and on youtube of people with temporal lobe epilepsy explaining my symptoms exactly.

In fact a regular seizure sufferer put on you tube these exact words "Describing Simple Partial Seizures can be difficult. Deja Vu, sudden unexplained fear, anxiety, and more is exactly what temporal lobe seizures are"

I am worried sick do I have anxiety or seizures who do I believe the epilepsy forums/youtube? Or do I believe a neurologist?

Please help me please I am so worried sick???

    Hi Jonathan

    I get exactly the same thing, feels like a wave going through your head for a split second followed by rush of adrenaline.

    It's all anxiety...made worse by your fear of having a seizure.

    I get very few of the standard symptoms also (racing heart, sweating, chocking feeling etc), all my symptoms are head based, headaches that move around, light headedness, dizzy and the waves in my head that you're talking about..the first and hardest thing to do is accept this is anxiety. You will be able to tell it is as when you're distracted you won't get the symptoms. The problem is they intensify the more you think about them and the more you monitor yourself.

    I've been having them for 6 months on and off now and they are always worse when my anxiety is up.

      Hi Sam, I am so sick and fed up of this. I see everyone else enjoying their lives and I am stuck feeling like this every day. The more I am like this the more I feel their is a real problem.

      I cant accept this is anxiety, sounds weird but I wish a neurologist could swap brains or heads for a day so they could experience this and see what I am going through and then diagnose me from that.

      I am actually going worse it is like i cant focus now for even a second because I feel this weird panic vision thing all the time. I am trying to have conversations with people at work and all I can feel is all these weird panic things going on and sometimes I end up talking rubbish or have to escape because it all gets to much with these weird feelings.
