Do these symptoms go with a partial epileptic seizure?

(I get the smoke smell that would be characteristic of epilepsy, but it baffles me with the other symptoms. I'm not sure what is wrong with me, so I need to know if these may or may not go with an epileptic seizure).

Severe shaking

Nausea

Warm feeling inside of head

Pale when the symptoms come on

Chest pain

Finding it hard to breathe (but no hyperventilating)

Feeling like I'm not getting enough oxygen

Sore lungs

Heart palpitations

Severe tingles through both arms and both legs

One thing I forgot to mention; they last a lot longer than two minutes. I really don't think it is epilepsy, but a friend does, so I won't rule out the possibility without at least a few more opinions. Thanks for all answers.

Update:

Hah, on the seizure question people are telling me "That's a panic attack". On the panic attack question, people are telling me "This is a seizure". I'm so confused...

I feel like it's a panic attack, but I can't put together the smoke + the physical symptoms, and figure out what it may be.
