Have Simple Partial Seizures. Feeling Of Pins And Needles In Head. Should I See Specialist?
I have epilepsy in the form of simple partial seizures i have been free of them for over a year now but last night i had two within a couple of hours but they were different this time along with the feeling that i was going to pass out i had a feeling of pins and needles all over my head should i go back and see my specialist

Hello,
Thanks for the query
Feeling of pins and needles alone doesn't suggest simple partial seizures. A remote second possibility of aura (the feelings just before seizure is likely) can't be excluded.
Just don't worry. You may visit your physician if this recurs and disturbs you or the typical signs that you had earlier
Best wishes

Yes. You should
First of all we need verification whether these new episodes really were seizures or some other paroxysmal phenomenon. If they were seizures then we need to find out the reason for them. Most important cause is drug default. Other reason is inadequate dose as per your weight. So all these things will be better explained by specialist
