I've never had a seizure but I spoke to a woman whose 19 year old son is having a psychiatric crisis for some time now. She developed seizures as a side effect of the enormous crippling stress. I used to have panic attacks as a child and young woman which involved premature ventricular contractions. They were actually associated with my GI tract which is not uncommon at all. They scared me, when your heart is skipping beats it's very frightening. In my early 20s I started seeing cardiologists now and then, all of whom told me this is benign. In my 30s I was still doing that but not as often. In my 40s they returned but I wore Holter monitors and had stress tests and doppler echograms which showed my heart was just fine so since then I just started to ignore them and that worked. This is different. The PVCs freaked me out but I still functioned and I was young so the possibility of dropping dead any second wasn't statistically significant. Now, it is. People my age drop dead all the time. So when this starts, my subconscious kicks into high terror and my blood pressure SKY ROCKETS into territory google tells you is IMPENDING DEATH. But it isn't. Not that it can't be eventually. High blood pressure spikes are not benign things, they can do damage, and if you're having them often at my age this is not good, which is why my cardiologist hooked me up with yet another psychiatrist none of whom seem to really know about medication. Dropping dead isn't the problem, being paralyzed lying on the floor trying to reach all my Xanax so I can take them at once is the problem.
