During a seizure, many things might happen. Sufferers may lose the ability to swallow, have difficulty speaking, experience twitching or jerking movements in the body, and even experience convulsions.

I'm experiencing this annoying twitching in my left eye's upper eyelid for the past month. It stops when I close or stretch my eye, but after a while, it starts up again for like 30 seconds. My glasses haven't changed in power since I got new ones about six months ago. Any ideas on how I can stop this twitching?

That could be dure to restlessness ,no need to worry take adquate rest ,if its becoming worse visit Ophtholmologist for appropriate management.

I've been having these weird episodes where I stand up and suddenly feel really dizzy and lightheaded. My vision goes a bit blurry, and I lose my balance to the point where I almost fall over. It's pretty scary. What could be causing this? Is it something I should be worried about?

That could be Postural Hypotension, don't change your posture quickly,make it slow,have balance, consume balanced diet and maintain healthy lifestyle

Conversion disorder, also known as Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), is a complex mental health condition characterized by neurological symptoms that medical or neurological conditions cannot explain. These symptoms can include paralysis, tremors, or non-epileptic seizures, and they often arise in response to psychological stress or trauma. Unlike other neurological disorders, conversion disorder does not have a clear organic cause, making it a unique intersection between mental and physical health.
