Seizure during sleep?
I had recent very concerning " episode" few nights ago
I had gone to bed couple hours later than usual, took one Aleve as I do couple times week for knee pain, I remember being " awake" around 3 am with extreme shaking , arms and legs trembling, 8 could NOT wake myself up to get up, turn on light, next thing I know it's 10Am and I NEVER sleep that long.. checked pjs , bedding for incontinence, none , was groggy for couple hours,
Is it possible to be aware of a "seizure" but unable to wake up, the extreme sleep hours like post ictal?
It's been a week, I didn't alert pcp
I did have fall in December but ct of brain was okay at ER ..
Any ideas?

Is this your first potential seizure or do you have a seizure disorder, epilepsy perhaps?

I had similar incident last year, thought bedroom was too cold, 63( we're in Ca)
Tripped in December, face planted on hardwood floor, just abrasion above eye, checked in er
I'm not epileptic, have a disabled daughter with epilepsy ( been on here for her, zonisamide complications, lamictal etc)
and retired RN so know a little but my middle of nite episode scary.. I think I'll let PCP know but doubt she'll do much
All my labs fine, not diabetic,except cobalt, chromium in system from metal implant but regularly checked for levels, symptoms etc
Can't really figure this out..
