Could be. It is imperative that you consult a neurologist to evaluate your seizure history and devise proper treatment. In the meantime do not drive your car or operate any machinery. Wish you good health!

You may be describing pre-seizure aura, warning symptoms prior to developing a full blown seizure. Make your neurologist aware so that proper treatment can be instituted. Do not operate cars or heavy machinery until cleared to do so.

I fully agree with my esteemed colleagues, and have concern about future additional seizures. This should urgently be addressed by a neurologist ASAP, and anti-epileptic medication should be commenced, but if this is new seizure activity, the cause should be uncovered. Avoid driving, use of power equipment, activity at heights, taking bath or swimming alone.
