A member asked:
I'm sure i'm having seizures but i'm aware while they happen and can feel they are coming should i immediately go to a hospital or is it okay to wait to see a doctor?

If you indeed are having true seizures, you will experience associated alteration of consciousness, and will be incapable of proper function. Thus, you should not drive, operate power equipment, do activities at heights, swim or take a bath alone. Do see a doctor ASAP, preferably a neurologist. Does not appear hospital or ER is necessary.
