seizure

Avatar f tn There are several conditions which can mimic seizures like a syncope, parasomnias, and movement disorders. There is a condition called psychogenic nonepileptic seizure (PNES) in which there are sudden and time-limited disturbances of motor, sensory, autonomic, cognitive, and/or emotional functions, these are psychogenically determined. Other conditions mimicking seizures are conversion disorder, panic attacks and migraine attacks.
327385 tn?1378360731 i just got my first 24hr video eeg and i was told by the nurse that my results did show seizure activity on the left side . i didnt have a seizure while in the hospital. i just want to know if anyone has any idea of what the seizure activity on left side means. i dont go to my neuro for a couple mnts. i have had just eegs and it was just fast ones.
Avatar f tn haven't noticed any more symptoms...I thought about anxiety too but he says mentally/emotionally he feels fine. Doesn't get sick very often, that part throws me off.... He does sweat profusely so maybe it is the seizure thing.
Avatar m tn My 16 yr old daughter was taken to the doctors 12 days ago due to dizzyness, weakness & three strange lumps (1 on her index finger, 1 on back of thigh, 1 near ribcage; lumps do not hurt and do not seem to be "attached" to muscles and cause no pain). Doc said she probably had a virus. 3 days ago she had a seizure like a granmal. 1st one she's ever had. Blood tests were unremarklable however a CT and MRI showed lesions on her frontal lobe.
Avatar n tn NEXT TIME YOU WITNESS IT, TAKE HER STRAIGHT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM SO THEY CAN OBSERVE AND RUN TESTS. ALSO IF YOU HAVE A VIDEO CAMERA TRY AND VIDEO TAPE THE BEHAVIOR FOR DOCTOR AS LONG AS YOU KNOW SHE IS NOT IN DISTRESS - as in breathing okay, heart beating ok, not choking, etc. OTHERWISE CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY IF THIS EVER HAPPENS) ASK ER DOCTOR TO ADMIT HER TO HOSPITAL AND DO A 24 to 48 OBSERVATION IN A CAMERA ROOM WHILE HOOKED UP TO EEG.
Avatar f tn Hello. You have done a good job by bringing this to the forum. There is a possibility of a partial seizure. But you should also consider something called as eye tics. These are not so uncommon in infants. You may need to get an EEG done. A video EEG is preferred. It has the advantage of letting us see the brain waves during such an episode or up rolling of eyes. Did he have any significant birth complications?
Avatar n tn t look at any of them for more than a few minutes before having a seizure. It is very plausible that he could have seizures from playing video games for that amount of time if he is photo sensitive.
Avatar f tn he would turn red and then have a seizure. the ambulance was always over here to see about him. well we finally found a new dr and he put him on high blood pressure medicine which stopped the seizure right away. Later a psychiatrist added some other meds for being bipolar 2 with mania. since he has been taking these meds he has not had a psuedoseizure. the last time he had one was 4-5 years ago. you are not alone. just try and investigate more.
Avatar m tn Under certain circumstances this can precipitate an actual epileptic seizure. Or a medical condition somewhat short of a complete seizure. The same thing can happen from the flickering of sun through an aircraft propeller blade. Certain animations and CRT configurations exacerbate this phenomena. The "flicker" affects the brain. How exactly a seizure is induce is not clear. This medical problem has been well-documented and researched.
Avatar f tn My husband is 30 and yesterday had a severe seizure. His body tensed up, and his eyes rolled in the back of his head and then he started compulsiving and spitting up. I believe this was a seizure. After wards he became very combative and was very confused. He doesn't remember the seizure at all. The doctor said that it was due to substances abuse.
Avatar f tn As far as the twitching goes, it is not localized, it is very broad and very much looks like I am having a seizure. I do have video of a few of the episodes, but I do not know how to put them on here. The SLA's are severe enough that we have decided it is not safe for me to drive because we do not know when I will have an attack or how bad it will be. One of the writhing attacks were so bad that I fell out of bed.
Avatar f tn I could literally see it in my arm, it was actually fluctuating almost like viabrating, id describe it as a mini seizure. I have absolutely no clue why this is happening, but its recently been happening a lot to my neck and back. If anyone could shed a bit of light on this, that would be great. Thanks for reading this.
Avatar n tn This is by no means diagnostic of epilepsy, although it should be noted that patients with seizure disorders tend to have a high incidence of comorbid psychiatric and behavioral problems. What does this mean for you? I don't mean to alarm you but I think it is important for you to be informed of what this could be. My advice would be to seek out a pediatric neurologist or epileptologist (a neurologist that specializes in seizure) who can better evaluate your son.
486038 tn?1300063367 Do I need to seek testing? I have had several possible seizure last fall, they ranged from several seconds (were I would just stare in space and not speak) to several minutes (where I had an aura before had that felt like something washed over me and then I was seperated or a bit detached and I could not speak and afterwards had a terrible headache) and these were witnessed by my mom.
Avatar f tn Then I went to another neurologist who had me do another long term video eeg. I had a seizure on it which did not show up on the eeg and did not possess any resemblance to epileptic seizures. I had just been kicked out of school due to the fact that my seizures were "disturbing to the other students". After that, I went and saw a psychologist who kept changing the reasons for my seizures. I stopped seeing him after he began trying to sell me his "stress tapes".
Avatar f tn There is no simple, definitive test for a seizure disorder. Often, seizure disorders are diagnosed based on patient history and observation of a seizure. If your daughter had a seizure lasting 30 min., that would qualify for a diagnosis in the minds of many clinicians. I'm sure you'll follow up with the diagnosing doctors and others as necessary. I hope the seizure turns out to be a one-time event.
Avatar f tn at the time he was playing a video game. we found out this day that he had a smaller type seizure at a friends house about a month ago that he did not tell us about. during both times he was playing video games. he also complains of periodic headaches, but they are not bad. EMS was called and he was taken to the ER. at first they did a cat scan with contrast that was normal. the next morning they did an MRI with contrast. they found a 1.1cm right temporal lobe 'lesion'.
Avatar f tn m On Keppra which may contribute to the mood issues but I think since it started before being diagnosed with a seizure disorder I think Its not a huge factor in the mood changes . I feel bad with my angry reactions to small stressful situations Its like I'm possessed at the time an don't feel bad up to days later upon reflection . Sometimes I have memory loss for days or hours unable to focus my attention to even watch tv or listen to a conversation.

536029 tn?1213648108 This may have to be treated with a combination of anti-seizure drugs. These anti-seizure medications may also address the burning feeling (neuropathic in origin) and help minimize them. If there are any one in the site with similar symptoms, I request that they share their experiences with our friend here. Wishing you all the best. Regards and God bless.
