Common Questions and Answers about Seizure first manifestation
seizure
I am 51 and am very frightened as last week I suffered my first ever seizure. It lasted about 30 seconds and I was just apparently staring glassily at my husband after shaking. I have been told I won't be able to drive for a year. My CT scan was clear though.
I'm asthmatic as well, and at the time of seizure had been in intense pain from a urinary tract infection.
A paroxysmal response is an electrical response in the brain that can be seen on an EEG even though no manifestation of seizure activity is seen to the observer (or even the patient.) Many people experience a paroxysmal response to the strobe light portion of a routine EEG despite having no "seizures."
In my experience, when doctors speak of epileptic events they are only talking about clinical seizures (ones someone can see and verify.
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 seizuee at all. The doctor said that it was due to substances abuse.
I have an appointment tomorrow to see what my viral load is after the first week of treatment. I’m kind of afraid to bring it up because I don’t want to have to stop treatment. Any Ideas? Advice?
You may not even read this comment since it has been 2 years since you posted but I had my first seizure at the age of 52 (late last year) It was diagnosed as a complex partial seizure. I lost conciesness 2 time within a minute. I was unable to speak or see and although I could hear my wife yelling to me, she seemed far away. I came out of it and went into hyperventalation. I was wrung out when it was over. I slept half the time for the next 3 days.
This means that the seizure is not due to abnormal electrical discharge from the brain.It is a physical manifestation of a psychological disturbance or from organic causes. Examples of organic causes include fainting, migraine, and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs). I hope this helps. Take care and best regards.
Our 4 year old Aussie just had a first seizure this morning. I have dealt with seizures before in another dog, but the aftermath of this is very different and hard. The jerking and then the stiffness lasted about 5 minutes or so, but when he started to come out of it and relax, he jumped up and started barking fiercely at us like he didn't know us. We got the other dogs out of the room in case of agitation or attack.
Then she began to have seizure like episodes after eating. She has been tested by cardio, neuro, gastro, all negative results, including EEG during "seizure". She has been referred several times to psych., but her mother still believes there is a physical cause they have missed. She does have shingles and her mom thinks maybe this is involved. I have done alot of research on non-epileptic seizures with some possible matches to conversion disorder.
I am having my first-ever root canal tomorrow, and I'm terrified. Will the procedure hurt? I've never been a fan of shots, but several years ago when having my wisdom teeth removed I went into a seizure as the oral surgeon injected the anesthetic, so I'm really nervous, and I keep hearing horror stories about people accidentally getting painful shots directly into the nerve, and how the procedure itself is extremely painful. I am not currently in any pain.
Having a seizure for the first time is very frightening. I too had a seizure for the first time in 2009. My seizures are complex and some of the symptoms your experiencing may be from a fear of having another seizure. With that said, you should see a Neurologist who specializes and treats epilepsy to make sure these symptoms are not different kinds of seizure or symptoms of epileptic discharges.
Try to keep your blood sugar, stress and sleep patterns stable.
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.
