A member asked:

Scared of having seizures at night. giving me panic attacks. i'm not epileptic.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Seizures: If you are not epileptic, then you don't have seizures. You may be talking about panic attacks that are sometimes mistaken for seizures. Your panic disorder needs to be addressed appropriately.
