Hey guys, last night I had completely spaced out and do not remember any thing and instantly had a migraine which would be considered a possible seizure (I have family history with this). I've been taken by ambulance a few weeks ago because I collapsed as a result. Please be praying, I can make it through my work day...

Why don't you see a doctor instead of worrying about work?
You could have had a stroke, instead of a seizure.
I am praying for you.

I am in the process of being tested for epilepsy and no it can't be a stroke and I just started this job and thank you
 
Hi Renewed Hope, I will be praying for you. Not only for you to make it through the work week, but in life.

Marieh, speaking as someone who has epilepsy, the symptom you describe of passing out and not remembering it, is NOT a usual symptom for epilepsy. It's never happened to me, and I've been having them since I was 5 years old..

It COULD be a symptom of a heart issue, though. Or a brain issue, where an artery is clogged and not enough oxygen is getting to your brain, thus the passing out. I would get a scan done of your heart and brain both, just to be safe..

Hey Blue, I appreciate your knowledge and concern, however I have been around epilepsy my entire life due to my mom and sister having it as well as relatives having it too. I am sorry you have been diagnosed with it, it is definitely not fun. The doctor told me I could be having absent seizures where people cannot grasp my attention for about a minute. The passing out is still under investigation, but could be part of it. They did do a scan of my heart and everything came back normal :)
 
I've never passed out with it either. And when I have the petit mal (absent) seizures, I'm fully aware of what's going on and I remember what happens.. It's good that the heart scan came back clear. :)
