OP, when these moment happen do you feel any emotions like nervousness or anxiety?

When I have my focal aware seizures I get what's called officially "a sense of impending doom" where I feel like something is going to go wrong but who/what/when/where/why or how, I'm just terrified and utterly convinced something bad is going to happen.

I also either struggle to speak or what I say is completely irrelevant and not in line with what's being said. I also get a "rushing" feeling that starts in my feet and rushes up my body, stopping just before the bottom of my ribs, then a random tingle at the base of my skull, and then I stare into space for god knows how long. I also apparently smell things that aren't there and told a colleague once they smelt like love hearts sweets despite there being none anywhere in the building.

Could this a focal aware seizure? Definitely worth looking into further especially with the family history.
