SO, this is : most likely some kind of anxiety. Ask yourself why THIS particular worry...what is it that you are really afraid of? If there is a mental health hot line you can access, call and discuss. If not, see a counselor or therapist. People don't have "premonitions" of seizures and you have no particular reason to have one, which is why I think this is most likely not a reasonable fear.

Agree with Dr. A: You may wish to set a goal to be healthier. Start with doing 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise each morning. Have a healthy diet, exercise, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, and get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health! Nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
