How do I know if I’ve had a seizure?

I am 26 years old, (27 in June) and have never experienced anything like last night.

I was sleeping on my stomach as I always do, and all of a sudden i felt my back jar down, and i was shaking uncontrollable and my eyes were rolling back in my head. I knew what was happening the whole time…i was aware. However During i was getting flashes of almost images, but i couldnt make any out, it was more like flases of light, and it sounded in my head like dial up internet but very fast - very electrical.

Sounds crazy - but my first though was I was being abducted by aliens. It felt and sounded like i was travelling through space, so fast..

when i came out of if, i thought, man, did I just have a seizure? I knew I was shaking, I knew my eyes were rolled back, but I couldnt move, there was nothing I could do - so after i started googling to see if i could find related experiences.

Diabetes also runs in my family - (grandmother, uncle, cousin) - not sure if it could have been this, i’ve never been tested, but dont think I have it.

Does anyone know what this could have been, or has anyone had a same experience.

Im going to see my doctor, but It was scary and thought I would see if anyone had similar experiences?

Could you have possibly inhaled miniscule droplets of excrrement from flies flying overhead, this could play havoc neurologically sending all sorts of weird instructions to the grey matter rendering you useless. Or were you dreaming

It sounds like a neurological disorder that needs to be examined. Maybe you should also be checked for Epilepsy.
See a doctor/neurologist!
