Unsettling Feelings
Some people who have seizures describe feelings and sensations that provide a warning that a seizure may be coming, also known as an aura. Some of these symptoms can be a type of seizure in their own right, called a focal or simple partial seizure.
A person may have a sudden mood swing, becoming extremely happy or afraid for no logical reason. They might have a sense of deja vu or an odd apprehension that's difficult to describe. There could be a swooping sensation in their stomach, like being on a roller coaster. It's common for people to be conscious during this time.3‘Epilepsy - Symptoms.’ Nhs.uk, 23 Oct. 2017, www.nhs.uk/conditions/epilepsy/symptoms
