Hello!
I am a long time epilepsy sufferer, diagnosis is epilepsia frontalis.
Recently seizures have increased, but today I experienced a disturbing and scary event.
I assume I had a seizure like usual, because they come without warning and I just find myself on the floor, having fallen there or something.
However this time I remember having extreme difficulty breathing while I was regaining consciousness, I was gasping for air like I was choking yet I am positive nothing physical was obstructing my airway.
Honestly memories of this event is a little vague, but I remember gasping and fear over dying from lack of air.
Now this coupled with finding out about SUDEP a few years ago has changed me from not knowing epilepsy can even be dangerous into a complete bunch of anxiety over my apparently impending doom.
Idk, guess i'm looking for support. Checking if anyone have similar symptoms without you know.. being dead yet, etc.
