Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX, ,

Good Day to you.

Thanks for posting your query on this website.

I can fully appreciate your concerns. However, further elaboration of the problems would have been of great help.

Nevertheless, the symptoms provided, point towards the possibility of a particular type of epilepsy, called Simple Partial Seizures(SPS). SPS presents itself in various forms. You are apparently suffering from Gustatory type of SPS.

I therefore suggest that you consult your treating doctor/Neurologist who will order for specific diagnostic tests and prescribe most effective anti-convulsant drugs.

Hope I have addressed your query to your satisfaction. If you have any further questions, I will be more than happy to help you.

However, if you do not have any further clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer.

Wish you a speedy recovery and good health.

Fond regards and best wishes,

Dr. (Col) R Karanwal
