Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.
Have you seen a primary care doctor or Neurologist?
Have you received a diagnosis or had an MRI, EEG?
I wonder if you could have received a lesions on your brain. Lesions often cause seizures.
People with TLE (Temporal Lobe Epilepsy) can become very happy for no reason or cry, however crying is an unusual seizure occurrence. Do you ever experience hallucinations or unusual smells or tastes (often a metallic taste), feelings, hear sounds, voices, people, have unusual feeling in your stomach. Has anyone ever seen you have one of these episodes? I'm asking because I'm wondering if your ever unresponsive during one of these incidents.
There are emotional symptoms associated with epilepsy as well as traumatic brain injury. Have you ever had a Tonic-Clonic seizure? If you have been alone you probably won't know unless your sore or you bit your tongue, cheek, or lip. Are you tired or sleep after an episode? However only a qualified physician would be able to differentiate between the two or another potential diagnosis.
I hope you seek medical help if you haven't already.
Take care,
Jake

I am very lucky that I have not had a Tonic-Clonic seizures. I get brain fog , a sense of loss of my surroundings, blurry vision and extreme exhaustion during my seizures. I have major memory problems and I wake up with blurry vision often.
At times I have had tightening in my body, jaw and in my stomach.

There was a time that I felt like I was kicked all over my head and body after having seizures in my sleep. I had a lot of body tremors that night. I had an EEG soon after and had seizures in my frontal lobe at that appointment. So, I assume that is what was happening in my sleep and caused such a different seizure reactions.

I do see a Neurologist, but I hope to fly back to the states eventually and visit the Mayo Clinic.
Thanks for the concern. :).
Do you also have seizures?
