Hi RichieJr

Firstly welcome to our community.

There are a few medical conditions, anxiety been one of them, that can have symptoms similar to epilepsy.

If you are concerned you have being misdiagnosed talk to your family doctor about a second opinion.

We have information on diagnosing epilepsy that you may find helpful.

Just seen this post so apologises for late reply. I think it is possible to have a form of 'anxiety attack' that is in fact a seizure as I have recently read a Prof at Bath university stating. Which explains some recent events I have experienced to go along with all the other seizure types I am having. It may be difficult for a professional to identify what is wrong. They need as much information as you can provide. You may do this at present, but a diary is a good idea. Also maybe writing an account of one event. For when you get a chance to see a neurologist. I am in the UK can you tell me what a PCP is , thanks.

Good luck
