Seizures OR Panic Attacks? How Can You Really Tell The Difference?

Before I start, I know some seizures don’t always make you fall to the ground and sometimes you might not even really know its A seizure. So Thats exactly why im asking this question.

Almost once every day, Out of no where I get really nervous and my hands start to tingle (Pins and needles) and my mouth gets very dry. I shake and my hands get ICE cold. When this happens I can’t sit still and I keep shaking my hands to try to get that numbness feeling away. Sometimes my heart races and sometimes it dosn’t. Now though, I don’t think it is anxiety because im calm when it happens and my heart really dont pound as long as I stay calm. I also feel confused and detached when these ‘Attacks’ happen.

I heard these are some symptoms of A seizure and also A Panic Attack. How do you really know the difference?

Im scared that im going to die from A seizure or something even worse.

I also notice, these attacks happen 10x Worse the day after I drink alcohol. So I dont drink at all anymore
