I have been told by the ER two years ago that the seizures I experience are not due to epilepsy but are from stress and are called pseudoseizures. Does anyone experience similar? And if so, what do they feel like? Mine are either sudden and I collapse/fall to the ground and become lifeless (no body movements) except for my eyes that flutter and roll back into my head, these last for 30 seconds to 2 minutes and I’m not all there but usually remember it a little bit. Or I have ones where I’m conscious the entire time (10-20 minutes) where I can sit up but am very heavy and can’t hold up my head, I’m unable to speak or move and feel trapped and scared and also my eyes are fluttering. It feels like I’m under warm water or that the air is thick. This one feels like hours to me but are usually 10-20 minutes long before I come to and am able to speak and move again.
