Seizure question
I dunno but can you be conscious and have a seizure at the same time?

I think I had a seizure last week,

When it started I was switching laundry. Suddenly I was seeing streaks of color and I was dizzy had slight headache,So I went upstairs and laid down.
I got myself comfy and next thing I know my body is shaking like crazy in a rhythmic shuddering way. I was seeing flashing colors(it was actually kinda pretty) but I could see ok. I was very calm and detached from all of it I was conscious but in a different state than usual. My partner walked in with the laundry basket, asked me if I was ok,I said I didn't know if I was or not,told him I wasn't in pain, I didn't know why I was shaking.
He sat by me and when it passed I was so sleepy I just conked out.I slept for like 15 minutes. He stayed with me until I woke up just to be sure.When I woke up I took some motrin because my head hurt but I was ok.
I wonder if that Gabitril caused it. I took it for one week a month ago ,it gave me a headache and tylenol didn't help so I quit taking it, I got off of it slowly half pill a few days,than two days at a quarter than I stopped it...
Can you be conscious and have a whole body shaking seizure at the same time?

2. This is a little close to medical advice, but for certain
conditions yes, but not all.

You should see a doctor.

Post here anytime for emotional support.
