Does anyone else feel indigestion right before a seizure?

I'll be eating at a restaurant, and get a full feeling in my upper abdomen, and have a seizure right there where I just stare off. I can hear around me but I'm just stuck. Is it the sensory overload of the uncomfortable sensation? Is indigestion just a seizure trigger or aura? It's so weird and I don't get it. I've only been having seizures for about 5 months now and I still don't know how to tell auras and triggers and whatnot. High stress and bright lights and heat will trigger them, that's all I have so far. Can indigestion really trigger a seizure or is it something else?

TL;DR - Maintenence came in my house while I was gone and left my gas stove on with my pets in the house, what can I do?

I (M22) live in section 8 housing, and I own teo ESA animals. My apartment hired some maintenence contractors and they had been in and out of our apartment all day because inspections found MULTIPLE health and safety violations (that have been here since we moved in mind you) and were fixing them up. Started at 9am and were going in and out off and on as they pleased. Around 1pm they hadn't came by for a hot minute so we assumed they were done. At 2:30-ish pm I went on a date with my partner for about an hour. When we walk back into the house, maintenence came into our house while we were gone (no idea if this is legal they do it all the time (when maintenence actually does anything at all- we had a ceiling leak in our bathroom for over a year), and we come home to water running and the gas stove left on. We don't know how long it was on for but my pets were in the house and all the windows were shut. We opened all the windows and went to my mom's for a bit while the house aired out. Maintenence came into my house without asking AGAIN (we were home this time) several hours later and while working apologized for the "stove inconvenience". There was no 24 hour warning for maintenance to even begin with, we rarely get 24 hour notices at all. I'm not well versed in housing because this is my first living place on my own and have been sucking it up but this is a last straw for me. What can I do, if anything?

My partner and I started to foster 2 female kittens at the shelter today. They're foster to adopt and we do plan on keeping them after the foster period is over. We were expecting a single, older cat, so the shelter gave us everything we would need for two kittens.

Now, these kittens are foster to adopt because they're barely four weeks old. I've had cats in my childhood but this is my first time handling this sort of situation. I make sure they have their milk and food, that the house is they get playtime and snuggles, hell they've even used the litter box already two or three times. None of this is an issue. But when I set them in the carrier, after all if said and done, they cry, and they won't stop. I'm not mad I just don't understand what could be wrong other than they don't have their mommy (they were taken in as strays by the shelter). They're active and LOUD and all that is okay too. They eat, potty, play, drink, and are very sweet. I just feel guilty that they won't stop crying. They're the only free roam pets in the house- the other pets I have are confined to one room in their tanks with the door shut at all times, and they need the house warm too. So being afraid of any animals I doubt is an issue. Is there anything I can do?

TL;DR - I'm fostering two kittens without a mama and they wont stop crying, even when their needs are met, what can I do for them?
