I lived like that for decades following a trauma as a teen. I didn't realize it had been an epileptic event. So, I had
frequent focal temporal lobe seizures which I would come to believe were anxiety attacks, or panic syndrome.
If you have ever had a severe panic attack out of the blue, it is very unsettling and you are concerned about
unannounced future attacks. The same is true for focal temporal lobe seizures. I wouldn't lose consciousnesses
rather, I would lose my mental integration and become very frightened It took me 40 years to diagnose myself,
then have my diagnosis confirmed by an eptileptologist who specialized in rare epileptic disorders., My EEGs
were abnormal consistent with someone who has a history of epileptic seizures. So, If I were you I would
probably ask for an EEG just to see if there isn't an underlying neurological issue behind your symptoms.
