What Causes Seizures With Muscle Twitching, Legs Heaviness And Tiredness, Dizziness?

I had 7 unexplained seizures last week were I was then tested in neurology while staying in the hospital with no conclusion. Tonight, I got very hot and dizzy followed by an upset stomach. When I was lying down, I had lots of random muscle twitching. After that stopped, my legs were very heavy and tired. Is this likely a small seizure or events leading up to a seizure

Neurologist,  's  Response
Hello!
Thank you for the question on HCM! I understand your concern.
The random muscle twitching are part of generalized myoclonic seizure. It is not a small seizure, but a generalized one , meaning that the brain cell dysfunction is spread all over your brain during this seizure. The hot and dizzy feeling which the upset stomach are part of an Aura ( symptoms preceding the seizure, part of the seizure)
I would recommend a prolonged EEG and a brain MRI to find out the possible cause of these frequent seizures, besides full blood work , electrolytes and other tests.
You need to start an anti epileptic drug as soon as possible , based on the consult with the neurologist and the results of the above tests.
Hope to have been helpful!
Greetings!
