It almost looked like you were going to have a seizure
Well, naturally, a spasm or a convulsion isn't quite the same as a seizure, but that's how those usually start. Just ask your favorite epileptic:)
Plus, it makes for a very, very natural sentence in English.

You were apoplectic
Я бы это так образно передала, так как в английском «судорога» поймётся как что-то, что произошло с конечностью
