Seizure heart attack
Common Questions and Answers about Seizure heart attack
seizure
Recently one of my friends told me something that happened to him this weekend. He told me that he was seated for a long period of time, and then when he tried to stand up he got very light headed and the room started to spin. Before he knew it, his legs gave up from beneath him and he started shaking. He told me that the shaking was like he was being electrocuted... I was wondering if my friend sustained a heart attack, seizure, or if he just had a panic-like attack.
I dont know what happened. Did i hurt him when i lift him? did he has a heart attack? are heart attack supposed to be that painful? did he have a seizure? was he conscious? was he screaming of pain?
Thanks... i just need to know what happened. The vet said he was old and probably had a heart attack... but i am not sure.
Is it normal for a hypertensive person to suddenly lose sleep and wake up with heart palpitations, shortness of breath, feeling hot and in panic condition? The feelings subside a few minutes after taking cold water or cold bath or emptying the bowels.
You need to investigate these symptoms for as to whether this is a syncope, vasovagal attack , transient ischemic attack, dehydration, anemia, hypoglycemic episodes, hypothyroidism, hypo or hypertension, heart rhythm abnormalities etc. The second episode appears to be seizure related since there is an aura and a post ictal phase of confusion and tonic clonic involuntary limb movement including heavy head hitting against the wall.

t know nothing til the next morning when the attack woke me up and the attack didnt happened cause of that, it just happened for no reason. then the whole day heart racing and sweaty palms.
It does sound like a seizure - the problem is figuring out if the seizure directly contributed to his death, or if it was an underlying condition that caused both the seizure and death. It could have been a stroke, or even a heart problem. Any time oxygen is reduced to the brain, seizures become possible. Any chance he could have developed heart worms?
Partner had a stroke april 21 but only this last 6mths she has had 1/2 episodes where she has gone to laugh and had one i would describe as a seizure - she stares and goes red as though struggling to breath then 10ish secs later she is absolutely fine- anyone else had similar

People thinking there going to have a seizure is normal with those who suffer anxiety and panic,,,I always feel like Im going to have a seizure,,and sometimes will worry myself so much about it my anxiety syptoms will get worse and cause even more symtoms that scare me into thinking Im now going to have a heart attack. Dont worry its the anxiety,,take a nice relaxing breath and take one of your Xanax if you havent already.
I am at times able to sense the attack coming with high heart beat rate strange sensation. I have been showing to a Neurologist for a month now and have been given torleva 500 twice daily. The attack has become milder but still persists once or twice a day. Somebody please help me understand whats wrong with me.
At times I also feel a little dizzy if i look at the extreme right from my eyes without turning the head. I feel I will get stuck in that position & just continue looking right.
Panic attacks lead to so many extreme thoughts...'I'm going to die, have a heart attack, pass out, go crazy, have a siezure' take your pick...! They are classic responses to panic attacks.
I've never had a seizure, but in my experience they usually happen to people without warning.
Something else may cause you to have a seizure, but usually not panic anxiety.
Anythings possible, you can get hit by lightning during a panic attack.
ve only had a panic attack once I thought it was a heart attack. Had my father take me straight to the hospital. The symptoms progressively got worse on the way there, my arms went from tingling to numb. They told me it was just a panic attack and I should follow up with my doctor for further testing.
Now, last night I had the hardest time getting to sleep. I felt the sensation throughout my body again and I told myself to relax and ignore it.
If these symptoms appeared in my patient, I would consider seizure and pseudo-seizure (seizure-like activity brought on by stress/anxiety). I would send my patient for a EEG to screen for seizure activity-- this are usually done in the hospital but some patients actually have a type done where they carry the testing box around with them.
Just wondering if anyone else ever feel like they are having a stroke, seizure or a heart attack while trying to go to sleep? You wake up and check your pulse or go to the bath room and don't have that feeling. Then you go back to bed and it wakes you up again. Now you really want to go to the emergency room or wake up your spouse but feel as though it may be a false alarm....but scared to go back to sleep. You may be so convinced that you want to call the ambulance.
