Since 2023, I’ve been experiencing sudden jerks (convulsions) followed by episodes of unconsciousness lasting 30 minutes to 1 hour. These typically occur during stressful, overwhelming situations. So far, I’ve had 1 episode in 2023, 2 in 2024, and 3 in 2025 (Jan, Mar, May).
Symptoms:
Most episodes begin with full-body jerks and end in unconsciousness.
Jerks also happen during daily activities like drinking water or using a phone.
Sometimes they last 2–4 hours and occur repeatedly.
After each episode, I experience confusion and memory loss.
Triggers:
High stress, big tasks, emotional distress, lack of sleep, and skipping meals.
Mockery, insults, and negative remarks worsen the condition.
Other Info:
Lying down helps reduce jerks.
I’ve sustained shoulder/head injuries from falls.
I fell on my head at age 2–3, but seizures only started in 2023.
History:
Previously diagnosed with OCD and depression; started episodes around the time I was on OCD meds.
I’m currently off med
