Avatar f tn after a few seconds of half laying down half sitting up, he falls backwards and begins to go into what would be described as a grand mal seizure. I have to say that I was pretty terrified. He snapped out of it within about 30 seconds to a minute. My father is an emergency room doctor and a physician; I disregarded my friend and asked my father what he thought, to which he said that he needs to get it checked out.
Avatar n tn //www.mayoclinic.com/health/grand-mal-seizure/DS00222 I'm not a medical professional, just the parent of a kid with diabetes, and I don't know all the specific of your son's case, so I'm resisting saying exactly what happened to him.

Avatar m tn Hi Kaysee- I had right frontal lobe aneurysm in 2008 and developed epilepsy with months of the brain surgery. I was on several medications before my neuroligist prescribed Lamictal which worked great at eliminating seizures. Initially, the Lamotrigrine(generic Lamictal) didn't work consistently. After exploring this further, I learned that manufacturers were required to have 90% active ingredients in the medication.

Avatar f tn My father about 11 years ago suddenly started having grand maul seizures, we at the time initially thought he was having a stroke, but it was determined he was NOT epileptic. He has been also suffering from back pain, and nervousness, difficulty resting and fatigue etc. I'm really worried. His heart is good, as are his lungs, BUT I'm scared to death. He and my mom leave for vacation next week and his doctor advised that AFTER he returns he'll talk this all over with him.

Avatar m tn It does still fit the description of a seizure. Not all seizures involve paddling, slobbering and loss of bladder control. Those are basically what are considered to be grand mal seizures. Petite mal seizures can be anything from a twitching of the head to a state of catatonia for a brief time, which sounds more or less like what your girl had. Please let us know what the vet says when you do get to take her in. Good luck to you!
452187 tn?1205709129 My 2 1/2 year old suffered a grand mal seizure last Sunday. He has never had anything like that happen before, and there was no warning. We went to the ER and were told it was a "febrile" seizure (his temp was 102.4). They administered Motrin and Tylenol and he started feeling better. He was released, and as we were walking out of the ER (literally) he started seizing again. This was about 3-hours after the first episode.
Avatar n tn Eight months ago I suffered a Grand Mal Seizure. It was my first one and I have no family history of seizures. I find that I am now dealing with memory loss. I am frustrated because my memory was pretty sharp prior to the seizure. My doctor never really said that I'd experience this and I was wondering if anyone else is dealing with this as well. I'm not on any type of meds. for seizures or anything else.

Here are the most common of seizure in dogs: Eating poison Liver disease Low or high blood sugar Kidney disease Electrolyte problems Anemia Head injury Encephalitis Strokes Brain cancer These are what you should do when your dog is having seizure. * Try to stay calm. Distance your dog from anything that could hurt him, do it gently.
Avatar n tn I had the surgery in 2004 and since that time, I have not had any absence or grand mal seizures. I still have seizure activity on my EEG but it now manifests itself as a headache. I don't like dealing with the headaches but they are easier to handle than the other types of seizures. Depending on where he lives, I may be able to direct you to where he could have some of this testing done.

Avatar f tn Can Methadone Withdrawal cause a patient with Grand Mal disorder to have a Grand Mal Seizure
Avatar n tn It turned out to be seizures unrelated, but that the intense force my body was using during the seizure that my blood sugar bottomed out. I had grand mal seizures for the next 8 months (very sporadically). Now on seizure meds, and doing fine. All the rest of my seizures, I was aware of the onset and actually would check my blood sugar and they would be normal to below 200.
