If by chance you are forgetful and don't remember what happened after these possible panic attack or you seem confused, tired, and have a headache then it could very well be a seizure. These are all signs of how many people feel after they have had a seizure. If this is the case you need to have your neurologist order an MRI, CT Scan, PET scan and SPECT scan to find the details of what's going on in your brain. I wish you the best of luck and May God Bless You!

You can check your pulse easily at the time of the event. If it returns to a normal level soon after, it is likely a panic attack. There are a variety of trigger for panic attacks. It can be difficult to identify the trigger without taking not of all of the stimuli at the time.

My best to you.
