No that sounds pretty scary. My wife has woke up to all mine so far mainly in my sleep. The other day I had an awake one at work but only couldn’t remember anything or reply etc. once passed I was fine had a small headache but glad to hear you got somewhat answers. Hope you continue to get better and hopefully someone will know better advice to give you.

Thank you for your kind words @crissyh76
The seizure you had at work sounds like it may have been a focal seizure.
I had similar experiences when I was younger with focal seizures (complex partial). My speech would be impaired for a few minutes and then everything returned to normal, occasionally accompanied by a mild headache, much like what you described.
Without knowing I had epilepsy or receiving treatment, my condition gradually deteriorated, with increasingly more seizures and extended recovery times. This highlights just how vital early intervention/treatment is. My epilepsy diagnosis didn't come until more than three decades later, which makes me thankful that you've received yours much earlier.
I'm sharing some information on focal seizures from the Epilepsy Foundation that might be helpful:
Focal Aware Seizures (Simple Partial Seizures)

Focal Impaired Awareness Seizures (Complex Partial Seizures)

Which of these sounds most similar to the seizure you experienced at work?
