I was not 'upset' or 'hyperventilating'. I got up and walked toward bathroom thinking if i get up and walk some the pain will subside, I didn't get 10 ft, and had a seizure, aftr the seizure was over, the chest pain was gone. although my chest feels like I've been punched from the inside. my seizure type is rare, they stem from the part of the brain that controls blood pressure. during one, my BP gets dangerously low, and pulse can get down to 32bpm. I've researched, and found one site relating to "chest epilepsy" but no real info on it.. any one know of this? or what I should tell my doctor to look for? I'm also on Synthoid(hypothyroid) warafin(unknown clotting disorder) as well as dilantin(epilepsy.)

I also have the chest pains right before I have a seizure, I have had the whole heart work up done everything came out fine. I'v had EEG (nothing). Cat scan(nothing), same as you after the seizure the chest pain is gone and I feel better, although my bp gets high, The chest pain get so severe that I can't talk or move. I also have pain in my teeth and my Right arm. My seizures have just started and are right before my period, I have endometrosis, and have found some web sites related to that . I am on Tompamax already, but am waiting on the result of a MRI. I also used to think it was heartburn related, the acid meds did not help.
