What is an epilepsy aura ? An epilepsy aura is a warning sensation or feeling before a seizure, technically a type of focal (simple partial) seizure itself, where awareness remains intact, allowing the person to recognize it as a sign a larger seizure might be coming, though sometimes it's the only event. Auras vary , from sensory changes (smells, lights, sounds), emotions (fear, déjà vu), to physical sensations (tingling, nausea, rising feeling).For more information support or to donate towards
