Weird Sensations In The Head

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Winnipeg, MB

Every once in a while I will get a headache that doesn't feel like a normal headache, with this type of headache I have this weird sensation in my brain where it feels like my brain is warm and sloshy like liquid. This will come at complete random there has been no pattern. I don't have a history of migraines. And I don't get frequent headaches. But I'm curious ifanyine else with epilepsy has a similar sensation or any others?

I’m experiencing something similar. I don’t know if it’s actually like what your experiencing. But I too don’t get migraines. I rarely even get regular headaches, but when I do,I know what they feel like. I notice when I think too hard or when I’m super frustrated, I get a type of head ache ( maybe stress headaches ), but it’s not painful. It sort of feels like my head is swelling up, but not enough to feel painful. It’s a weird feeling.

I have suffered from migraines since elm. School. But when i get thos kind of sensation in my head it doesnt feel like a regular headache or migrain. For me itbfeels like weird sensations are going on in my brain. Like wires are all mixed up. It feels like my brain is swollen or swelling. It is one of the weirdest feelings sometimes. The last 3 neuros i went to had no clue what it was. And didnt wven bother to look into it.

When I am very excited to tell a story or show a gift to someone I would make some 'absence' feel weird, fuzzy in my head and didnt remember where I was in my story tell or didnt very remember where I was, what I was doing and I need to ask questions to that person to bring me back where I was or what I was doing. Happen when I was driving and my husband (then newly boyfriend) was where are we going and I was laughing and telling him IDK where are we?😂 He left me driving...😳
So to come back to your question, sometime I feel like it's a start of an absence but didnt go fully in absence. It's weird to explain...

Sometimes I can feel light headed going into a seizure that’s better than the normal headaches I have like migraines and usual headaches x x

i have um. it an aura (partials) or petit mal (generalized). but it might be any number of things. if you had the covid 19 vax... that is one. another ones is new meds. another is seizures. another is what you ate.
