Suggest Remedy For Sensations And Pressure In Head Due To Seizures

From the last summer in 2011. I developed seizures. The symptoms are pressure in chest, weakness of left arm, sensations in head, fatigue, heart racing and ofcourse panic/fear. Had like 10-15 of them since the summer, 4 of them were severe. First one happened when I was running (Shortened sight, heart racing, high blood pressure with extreme pressure in chest, started with a sensation in the left arm, was hospitalized and the Doc said it was panic attack, EKG ok) after that I had 7 days head pressure in the back of my head with spaced out feeling like I was not there, without pain. The head pressure returned after a month and it lasted longer, then went away and again came back etc. Since december I have developed a new symptom, now I have pressure on just one spot in the head without spaced out feeling, its like a small spot on the left side of the back of my head few cm from the left ear, it s a feeling like someone grabbed the spot and is not letting go. I have seizures now and there with the same symptoms but less severe, they usually pass and my body is very fatigued after them. I just want to point out that I m using computer alot for my studies and headphones because I compose and play piano, the seizures usually begin when I do those things for longer time during the day. Since I m not a doctor I cannot suggest what is going on with me because I m generally a healthy person, I never even get the flu or drink any medications. I will visit my doctor next week to see whats going on with my head and what tests to take, but I would be grateful if I could get a suggestion here as well. My blood pressure is always 120/80, temperature is 35,8-36,1, during the seizures I never blacked out. Thank you in advance.

First of all,you should do MRI T2 weighted Brain to exclude a brain lesion.Then you need to do some investigations such as:ECHO on the heart, ECG with exercise,measuring the level of VMA in the urine to exclude adrenal gland disease.I hope I answer all your questions.
