Although it is possible to develop epilepsy and suffer seizures in the thirties, or at any age for that matter- that’s probably not your problem. You don’t really develop epilepsy as a slow process, and the onset would involve a seizure of some sort. There are the classic type people think of, a grand mal episode with the uncontrolled muscular spasms, and the petit mal, or silent seizures. It’s pretty difficult to miss a grand mal seizure, even if you had one all by yourself, when you woke up several hours later, you’d realize something was wrong. You might suffer petite mal seizures and not completely realize it at first, but you would note gaps in your memory or awareness. Petit mal seizures are more like checking out of the waking world, a mental form of neutral gear if you will. Migraines can be triggered by lights, in some cases. To be really sure of what exactly ails you will require a full evaluation by a neurologist. There are many different variations in migraines, as there are treatments, it’s not a one size kind of malady. And light in particular can be excruciating to those suffering a migraine. Some people get relief from light triggered migraines through wear of colored lenses in glasses. There are a lot of folks out there who wear colored lenses for fashion statements, but a few wearing them to stave off a migraine as well. That may be one thing you could try, since it’s white light in particular that sets things in motion. It wouldn’t do much for strobe type lights, but those are not nearly as common. For the best info though, you really need a good evaluation by a neurologist.
Sounds like frontal lobe epilepsy, but i am not a doctor. YOu can have seizures in your sleep and never know it. Panic attacks cause you to hyperventilate from that “fear of dying” but you cannot develop athsma from panic attacks. I used to have to breathe in a lunch sack to avoid hyperventilation. Panic attacks ****.
