What type of pain are you actually experiencing. Is it like a headache or migraine ? For many people with Epilepsy ( not everyone ) do experience some type of headache or migraine from their Epilepsy.

Hopefully someone can or will be able to help you with better advice than I .

I’m having the same exact problems. They are going to do an ambulatory EEG on me so if I find anything out I will let you know.

You may have some activity in your Opccipital Lobe of your brain . That’s the area that operates our vision

The pain that feels like an electrical is because that is what a seizure is an, a enhanced electrical impulse in the brain that runs a pathway throughout the body causing many different actions, depending on where it started and pathway it made. Extreme headaches are one that can happen before or after a seizure. The double vision is also a problem that can happen before or after a seizure. Let your Neurologist about this it is possible for it to cause other problems such as unconscious walking. Something that may help with this is blocking vision of one eye. Also, I know last seizure I had double vision which is something I never happened before except the day before that doubled that developed into an extreme seizure, The day before which is questionable if developed into seizure or not since I live alone and I was home that day. I know what helped me with that just closed both eyes laid down with some music. TAKE CARE AND WISH YOU THE BEST!!!

Apart from all the things People see on tv to stop headaches, ex advil, ibuprofen etc., there is prescription medication Dr.s can and do give people that does work faster and better. Tell Your Dr.s You are having these terrible headaches, they are uncomfortable, and You don’t want to have them any more, or You want them to end sooner. Tell Your Dr. these things, it is their job to help You and to solve problems like having bad headaches.
