question about seizures
Second, no one needs to tell me I need to see a doctor. I'm calling my doctor first thing Tuesday morning.
But here's my question. Saturday I had a really weird and scary experience. I was walking from the living room to the kitchen and was passing through the dining room when I got really dizzy and my vision got all blurry. I could barely see. I was right by a chair so I put one hand on the back of the chair to try and steady myself. Then my whole body started shaking really hard. I could feel it shaking but could not make it stop. My sister saw what was happening and ran over and put her arms around me so I wouldn't fall or at least she could break my fall if I fell. I did not fall though, I stayed on my feet. The whole thing lasted less than a minute and I felt perfectly fine afterward.
I used to work in the health care field and so did my sister and we've both seen plenty of seizures. She said it looked like a seizure to her, except that neither or us has even seen someone have a seizure standing up and not fall down. Is it possible to have a seizure and stay standing? Does anyone know? Or if not, does anyone have any idea what it might be?
I've felt fine since it happened and like I said, I plan to call my doc first thing Tuesday morning.

Could it have been a sudden blood pressure shift? Or did you notice that your heart was beating in an odd way like some kind of arhythmia?

I didn't notice my heart beating in an odd way, but I can't say for sure it wasn't. I have no idea.

Also, I'd just eating a protein bar about 20 minutes before it happened, and that's what I'd been eating every morning for breakfast for a week, and every other morning I felt just fine afterward.
