Panic attack or Epilepsy?
Ive had what I believed to be Panic attacks for the last 8 years. It is a feeling of intense fear, or impending doom.I breath heavily and fear my death. It usually only lasts 15-20seconds. I don't feel anything physical like twitching or convulsions, but I do feel slightly weaker physically during and for a few minutes after the attack. Many times, my brain is very "cloudy" and sometimes I completely forget I had an attack at all. I had a brain aneurism 14 years ago, that was clipped and resolved. A person I know who works in Neurology said that they may be seizures and not attacks. This really worries me. I had an EEG done a year ago and it showed normal, but I read that even though it shows normal doesn't mean that epilepsy isn't present because the brain waves are returned to normal when not having a seizure.
I know without more testing you can't give me an accurate answer, but any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you...
