Hello, with regard to your query regarding that you are have a history of severe epilepsy and associated symptoms. Epilepsy is a central nervous disorder where the activity of the nerve cell in the brain is disturbed which results in seizures like abnormal behavior, sensations and loss of consciousness. A single seizure does not confirm epilepsy, instead 2 unprovoked seizures is required to say that he / she had an epileptic attack. Symptoms may include a temporary confusion, uncontrolled jerky movements of arms and legs, psychic symptoms .It may be generalized or focal .In case of generalized seizures, all areas of brain are involved and there are 6 varieties such as absence of seizures (petit mal seizures), clonic seizures, myoclonic seizures, Atonic seizures, Tonic seizures and lastly tonic- clonic seizures also known as Grand mal seizures. If it is focal, there will be involuntary jerking of the arms or legs associated with tingling, dizziness and no loss of consciousness. Causes of epilepsy include genetic influence, head trauma, brain conditions, infectious diseases, pre natal injury and developmental disorders. I would suggest you to consult the physician to completely evaluate and provide appropriate treatment. Hope this helps. Thank you.
