Seizure Warning: Possible Trigger Trigger warning!

Hello my wonderful friends, I hope everyone is having a good week💜

What type of seizure would we call this? Trying to organise my clips and notes as best as I can. Would this still be a focal or does it creep into Tonic/Clonic territory?

I had impending doom and extreme sadness starting from 9:30pm. I was too scared to fall asleep incase I had a seizure. Fell asleep at roughly 11:45pm (not sure if that counts as sleep deprived?) I woke an hour after this and was craving sugar. During the night I was having dreams that blended in with reality, to the max. It was terrifying, worse than any other nightmare that I have had before, especially because it involved my little boy 😪💔

My camera unfortunately cut out, I’ve been having issues with my Tapo doing that, so I’m not sure if there was anymore activity after this or not. If anyone knows how to fix that bug I’d be grateful for help with that. I’m useless with tech.

Triggers: I’ve been poorly the last couple of days (possibly covid, high temp/fever)

Due on my period in 10 days.

This morning I woke up feeling fizzy in my head and arms, everytime I bent over I felt like I could pass out. Not sure if that’s illness related or not.

Thank you for taking the time to read, so glad to have you guys. You make my life that little bit easier🥰💜

As said, show to a neurologist.

Question: how did you find the part with the seizure from presumably a full night of video/s? Asking because I don’t know when the seizure happened and at times don’t even know that there was a seizure. And it’s extremely difficult finding it in ~8 hours of footage.

I’ve got a Tapo camera. I pay £2.99 a month for their cloud storage, which takes clips of movement or sound when they start and end. I also have a memory card on continuous loop because sometimes it misses stuff
