Was THIS an epileptic seizure..?
Just wow.
OH SURE it was a joke, nice cover, Hillary..!
If you read the post to which I was responding, you will see why I phrased it in that manner.
In Veterinary medicine, we see these as what we call psychomotor seizures -— an example is fly-biting or fly-snapping such as seen here:

From someone who suffered seizures from a head injury as a child.......that was not a seizure. If it had been a grand mal seizure she would have lost consciousness and needed medical attention.
Could be something neurological where it affects the muscles in her neck.
The blinking eyes could be indicative of some petty mal seizures.
Could be possessed.
Interesting, thanks.
seizures are very common when trying to quit.
Spot on.
It was uncontrollable no matter what it was. That with her coughing fits says she has some condition.sss@aås555556
Temporal Lobe Seizure
Sadly, nothing would surprise me at this point.
These are not diagnostic comments. They are for information only.
Broad Classification of Tremors
TREMOR TYPE:
Action Tremor: Includes postural, isometric, and kinetic tremors
Occurs in conjunction with with a voluntary contraction of muscle
Kinetic Tremor: Occurs with any form of voluntary movement Includes classic essential, cerebellar, dystonic, and drug-induced tremors
Intention Tremor: Subtype of kinetic tremor amplified as the target is reached
Presence of this type of tremor implies that there is a disturbance of the cerebellum or its pathways
The woman holding the cell phone in front of Hillary just below eye level could have triggered an intention tremor.
Alcohol, caffeine and other drugs could influence this type of tremor.
Diagnostic algorithm for tremors.
Diagnosis of Tremor with an Organic Cause
DRUG- AND METABOLIC-INDUCED TREMORS Dozens of medications can cause or exacerbate tremor. Patients with new-onset tremor should have a comprehensive medication review with specific attention to medications (prescribed and over-the-counter) started proximal to the onset of tremor. Medications particularly prone to inducing or exacerbating tremor are those that stimulate the sympathetic nervous system (e.g., amphetamines, terbutaline, pseudoephedrine) and psychoactive medications (e.g., tricyclic antidepressants, haloperidol, fluoxetine [Prozac]). When medication review reveals a likely culprit, a trial off of this medication should be attempted.
Selected Medications and Substances That May Exacerbate Tremor
Amiodarone
Amphetamines
Atorvastatin (Lipitor)
Beta-adrenergic agonists (e.g., albuterol)
Caffeine
Carbamazepine (Tegretol)
Corticosteroids
Cyclosporine (Sandimmune)
Epinephrine
Fluoxetine (Prozac)
Haloperidol
Hypoglycemic agents
Lithium
Metoclopramide (Reglan)
Methylphenidate (Ritalin)
Pseudoephedrine
Terbutaline
Theophylline
Thyroid hormones
Tricyclic antidepressants
Valproic acid (Depakene)
Verapamil
Hope this helps.......
Most tremors are symmetric, but brain tumors can cause tremors to lateralize to one side. Caffeine and fatigue are often exacerbating factors in essential tremor; alleviating factors are difficult to find. A search must be made for associated diseases (e.g., sleep disorders because fatigued muscles may amplify physiologic tremor; polyneuropathy because lack of innervations may cause small involuntary movements that are interpreted as tremor).
A family history of neurologic disease or tremor suggests a genetic component, as is often seen in essential tremor. A thorough medication history should be obtained to rule out drug-induced tremor.
The patient should also be screened for drugs of abuse and alcohol consumption because alcohol overuse and withdrawal can cause tremor. Conversely, small amounts of alcohol can temporarily relieve essential tremor and can be a clue to the diagnosis.

Look at the shock at the interviewer’s face.
She was probably retelling the story of landing in Bosnia with all the flak.
Hillary Clinton has seizure / convulsions - tries to play it off by making fun of seizures
Hillary had some sort of neural response triggered either by the sudden burst of noise and motion from the reporters just at the outside edge of her peripheral vision or from the the sudden motion of turning her head in response to that burst of noise and motion .
The response event was relatively brief and mild.
Hillary's response suggests that this is a common enough occurrence that she has the outward symptoms down pat and has practiced a recovery response and follow on exaggerated intentional replay that would disguise the event as goofing around with the reporters in case it ever happened in public .
Notice the two phases of the event , the first looks like an involuntary physical seizure, black out or palsy type event response while the second phase looks like intentional controlled humorous , goofing off type replay of the first involuntary event , combined with humorous comments to reinforce the perception of goofing off.
This was a well rehearsed and well coached recovery from some physical malady intended to disguise the malady for damage control purposes and make light of it in case and event were to ever happen while Hillary was in a public setting with cameras running.
A good example of this type of recovery strategy by a public figure is Micheal J Fox who is valiantly dealing with an advancing case of Parkinson's Disease. When Mr Fox has an event in public he rolls with the punches and improvises a follows through to minimize the event and make it look as normal and benign as possible.
It appears Hillary was doing something similar in the video
.
There's still plenty of time.
This was a type of seizure. Most people in the public don’t know there are many types of seizures and they manifest in many different ways, from aura to grand mal type events.
Considering a past history of a head injury it would not be surprising that she has seizures on some level. As much as people would like to point out her being in ‘ill health’ it really isn’t a reason for her to be disqualified from the job of President.
I would add to this long discussion though that we recall the one debate in which she came back on stage after the commercial break....very, very late. We made fun of her not being able to get done in the bathroom soon enough, but she may have had a seizure at that time too?! And unlike this event, she needed a few more minutes to recoup. https://youtu.be/x4W5k0gnqZM
People can recover from small seizures in a few minutes to a few hours. Grand mal type events generally take 24-48 hours for the brain to fully reset.
I have nocturnal seizures and there are times I get up and have no idea I have had them. Other times, I will be groggy and completely lost for hours until I can go back to sleep and rest.
Hillary Clinton faints during speech

Hillary Clinton falls while boarding plane in Yemen

Notice in this video she is turning the same way as in the seizure video, but prior to it she was walking very slowly
And of course we are all aware of the fainting and head injury, which leads one to believe this health issue is much longer running than just having a head injury.
