What Are The Symptoms Of A Seizure?

I have a history of a seizure disorder. (Not epileptic). Should all fainting spells be considered a seizure? My blood pressure was high and my breathing was high. Blood was found in my urine. CAT scan of brain was found to be normal. All blood work showed abnormal in several places. I had been doing a lot of fast walking around the town, trying to accomplish needed activities. Is it possible for this fainting spell be caused by the activities and not as a seizure, only assumed as one because of history of such?
