The symptoms you mentioned are common to a panic or anxiety attack and are also common to brain injuries such as a concussion or series of concussions.
Are there specific situations or times when you experience these symptoms?
How many times have you experienced these symptoms?
Hopefully, with a bit more information, we can help you or direct you in a worthwhile direction to find some answers. Have you had any doctors examine or try to diagnose this condition?
My best to you.

hi mark. thanks for your reply
i usually get the symptoms in the evening, but they can happen at any time.
i've experienced these symptoms countless times. once, sometimes twice, a week.
my psychiatrist is treating it as psychological. anxiety related. but i think they're something more. im going to see my neurologist about it, but i haven't gotten an appointment yet.
sometimes i lose control of my bladder or bowels, sometimes i smell things unpleasant,
the episodes last longer than a normal seizure though. hours. and get worse as time goes on. i have to go to sleep for it to stop. which is hard to do because my eyelids twitch and flutter when i close them.
