Brief Answer:
Seizure disorder

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

Here the possibilities for your condition

1. Even I strongly suspect seizure disorder in you. It is typical to have that knawing feeling followed by dreadful feeling. Please ask your internist to pursue it with a CT scan of the brain followed by electro encephalogram

2. Vit D deficiency can often lead to similar complaints but what is atypical that it is once a month

3. Thyroid dysfunction. I have seen 2 of my patients with atypical presentation like this and they turned out to have thyroid dysfunction

4. Diabetes

Please discuss these possibilities with your internist.

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
