Anxiety burst for a few seconds

I don't know what just happened to me. It was nothing like most anxiety I've experienced.

I was sat on my sofa, enjoying a film. Out of nowhere, I had this huge head rush feeling and a massive burst of anxiety. It lasted about a second. My neck tingled, my head felt like it lost its balance.

Normally I would say that this is just classic anxiety or a panic attack, but it lasted for a second or two. I obviously had the after anxiety but in the moment that it happened, it was like being hit by a truck.

I'm freaking out, because I have a fear of epilepsy and from stuff I've read this sounds like a simple partial aware seizure. I literally felt fine before this happened.
