i actually had someone else having a grand mal and it almost like a stoke. my arm is tightened up all the time so idk when i am having a seizure and when i am not.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member I had stroke & seizure 8 months ago!!! Stroke signs r face drooping, numbness, tingling, having one sided weakness etc!!! Stroke signs vary on the person b cuz u have sum signs not all bt they still don't know wer my stroke came from on top of my seizures!!! I have b careful b cuz once u have stroke u keep having them!!! My stroke & seizure almost killed me!!! I almost died in January from it!!! Jst b careful & watch out for it!!! If u had stroke they should of called paramedics & u would b in hospital rite now!!! Thanks God u didn't & probably warning sign of seizure or migraine attack!!! I still would go get checked out & tell them everything that happened!!! FYI: They might keep u for observations & jst watch u make sure anything like that happens!!! I am stroke survivor so Ik & plus I was Nurse!!! I here if u need anything or need talk always!!!

Go get checked out.

Thanks. I have a headache and my right side was going numb before it happened. And I haven't found a neurologist yet because I can't get insurance

I had a massive stroke and I didn't experience any of those things. I thought I had a hangover as usual. It was a Saturday morning. I was at my students' basketball game. Suddenly, I couldn't talk or move. Another one of my colleagues recognized that I was having a stroke and saved my life!!
