Head Rushes

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
San Diego, CA

I wonder if any of you have ever experienced a head rush
I really don't know how to describe it other than a head rush. I "hear" and "feel" something going into my brain then all of a sudden I'm seeing double or triple and I cannot speak.

This just happened to me about ten minutes ago while looking around this site
It happens to me on a regular basis. I never thought anything of it until today. I just wonder if this is a common occurrence with anyone.
Anyway, I have an appointment with my… read more

Sean it sounds like you you may of went through an aura into a possible seizure ( your blur vision ( but maybe a medication side effect ).

My definition for a head rush is, when you blood up to the Brian when laying down or hanging upside down,for what ever the reason is.then when you get into standing position too fast where you loose balance and may fall down. Your head may even feel heavy to hold up straight.

That has happened to me many times . A long time ago ( in my teens ) I was told by a doctor to sit up slowly, so the blood can start flowing Downward in my body. Then when you feel you’re able to control your head you can start standing up.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member I know what you're talking about when standing up to fast or being upside down. The one's I'm asking about are spontaneous. I'll just be sitting doing nothing, then I get a huge rush to my brain. This has happen about 4 times in the last month. Just curious if anyone else has had this happen to them.

Now anxiety I hate too!!! I deal with that bc of my attack if you will read my story as I have bad PTSD that’s actually why I have epilepsy due to my traumatic brain injury. I have severe anxiety…a year ago I woke up at 6 am and started having seizures and the left part of my body was paralyzed I went via ambulance to the hospital and get this my dr told me that the paralysis was due to my severe anxiety!!!!! Yes!! Believe it or not!!! That’s something I never knew anxiety could do! At 1st the hospital had thought that I was having a stroke but they ruled that out and then Decided that I was in fact having a severe case of a seizure.
