Did you have any tunnel vision associated with that ? Did you have the impression your vision was dark but you could still hear sound?

Hey, I get some of that tunnel vision stuff. I really didn't equate that with seizures though, I usually get a change in pitch of sound with those. It gets lower pitch then sometimes an oinggg sound. The sound I figured was seizure, but not the tunnel vision part.

I'm sorry, but asking for medical advice on ATS is like hiring the Captain of the Titanic to head up your water safety program.

Usually, mine are I'm doing something, then suddenly, 10 seconds or so had passed, and I'm a little disorientated, but bounce right back.
Today... not so much.
I was riding in the car, watching a car come towards us, when, like a badly cut film- it suddenly went right past the same 2 cars again. it was accompanied by a weird 'snapping' sound- like plastic being broken, and enough disorientation that I had to close my eyes and try not to get sick. I had a small headache a bit later.
I shall be seeing the doctor Tuesday, and had an MRI. Still waiting on results. If I am told nothing is wrong, what do I do then? Second- is this a normal seizure?

What do you mean here? Are you saying you passed the cars and then time seemed to rewind and you passed them again?
This could be something like deja vu. Some people who have epilectic seizures report having those feelings right before their seizures. If it was strong enough, you may have been convinced you'd already passed the cars.

No seizure is "normal", especially when followed by headaches and nausea.
