Yes . Although I'm not aware of my seizures, every once in awhile , my heart 💜 Would be pumping faster then it was a moment ago. Sometimes feel as if it's trying to jump out of me.

Sounds like complex partial seizures. I used to have those. Anxiety, paranoia, short term memory, foggy/confused are all very common after these types seizures. Fortunately I have auras. Like I told a friend of mine. Pay more attention to your body.You just may have an aura & never thought of it as one. Everyone w/ auras have something different. I get a smell before a seizure.
