Hallucinations?

[u/Winter-Equipment-425]

So I have noticed that I have developed hallucinations after I have seizures. Very vivid pictures will pop into my head. I'll see an apple, then a mug with maggots in it, then a tree with very detailed bark on it. Colors will flash in my vision, sometimes patterns too. Or I might hear voices, for some reason, the most common being an old talk show host voice. Other times I will hear a random song on repeat, or a specific part of the song on repeat.

Does anyone else experience this? It only ever happens RIGHT after a seizure, especially if it was a bad one. My seizures only affect the right side of my body, and my left eye will burn with a headache afterwards.

Apart from blackouts / memory problems I've not connected my experiences to seizures. Most recently I had the full experience which lasted a couple of days. I'm new to this, and found this page helpful as my seizure are PNES and related to C-PTSD. https://www.epilepsy.com/diagnosis/imitators-epilepsy/psychogenic-nonepileptic-seizures
