Yes@hopeful33250. A neurosurgeon asked me what the symptoms of my seizures were like. When I told him my heartbeat raced when I have a seizure he said they were panic attacks. The type of seizures can be mistaken as panic attacks because of the symptoms, but to have a neurosurgeon say they are something like that. That is like saying my seizures are some kind of emotional/mental problem. Where did he get his category medical degree? He is even at the University of Maryland and is supposedly one of the best.

@lsittll I am sorry to hear that. How long have you had epilepsy? Do you have a better doctor now?
