I have Seizures where I feel like I am going to pass out and then my heart starts to race (it goes up to 180) and my blood pressure sky-rockets. Sometimes the muscles in my legs will also shake a little bit. Does anyone have these type of seizures? They seem weird to me and when I go to the ER most Dr's do not recognize it as a seizure? I take lamictal and am seizure free but I am just curious if there is anyone else out there that experiences this type of seizure as it doesn't seem that common?

Hmmm - look up "neurocardiogenic syncope" on the web - see if anything there sounds familiar.

Thanks. The doctors looked into syncope as a possible cause of my symptoms. They ruled it out since my heart rate and blood pressure actually rise instead of drop. They even tried some of the medications used to treat syncope but they did not work. The seizure medication is working (lamictal) for me. I guess i just have symtoms that are not very common. Thanks again!!
