Avatar f tn I am 14 years old and have passed out in the shower one time before, but i could still hear things, my vision just got very blurry. This time i was in the shower in the morning and i began to become very dizzy, and normally when this happens i just put my hands on the walls and close my eyes. Once i did this next thing i knew i woke up sitting on my shower floor with my hair tangled on my shower knob, holding my head up.
Avatar n tn I fainted/passed out in the bath tub last night. Prior to getting in the shower I was extremely tired and was feeling a very sharp pain going through my head. I had to close my eyes and hold on to my head. My body was telling me to lay down but i wanted to take a shower so that i can have a good sleep. Once i was in the shower, my legs started shaking so i knew i need to get out of the shower.
Avatar f tn Last year after marriage the frequency increased. Thrice in 3 months. We went to a different doc. He said that he had primary generalized seizure or a right right frontal focus with hemispheric bisynchrony. He also said that carbamazepine is not right medication for it so slowly changed it to kepra. My husband dint have seizures for 5 months. After carbamazepine was completely stopped and he was completely on kepra , he got seizure. He takes 3700 MG ok kepra per day.
Avatar n tn This morning I awoke with nauesa, which went away after an hour or so and it was replaced with a headache and blurred vision. These were the same symptoms that I had in the hospital shortly after the seizure. All symptoms are gone, other than the blurry vision, which seems worse in my left eye. Should I be concerned about these symptoms? Is it possible that I had another seizure in my sleep and awoke with the normal symptoms?
1563022 tn?1296332599 Went to listen to live music at 7. Thought it would b nice to remember a weekend nite. Sat down and WHAM like I got smacked in the back of the head with a hammer. Was texting, started shaking REAL bad. Dropped phone. Lost it for 1-2 minutes. Acutuley aware of what was going on but was paralyzed. Is this a seizure? Spoke to a friend who has an epileptic friend and he said spots in front of your eyes is a good indicator one is coming. Had that at 5:30 or so. Worst in my life.
Avatar n tn As an aside, should he be experiencing such a great deal of pain in his shoulders from a seizure? I have a seizure disorder myself and have never experienced such a thing.
Avatar f tn If a person continues to have episodes, you can start to piece together similarities in some of the life circumstances surrounding the seizures. I hope everything goes well for your son.
Avatar n tn I have my period, but I donated blood yetsurday and then i toke a hot shower and hit my head passing out in the shower. My mom tried to help me get up, but I kept falling down three times. They toke me to the hospital, but my head still hurts today. What should I do?

Avatar n tn if it was only the upper limbs, you probably had a partial seizure. It may have been an abortive seizure, which means the seizure gets aborted before it takes a full blown form. It is possible that this was a seizure. Please get a fresh EEG done. If the EEG comes back normal, you can relax.
Avatar m tn 00am, i snoozed till 630am and jumped out of bed after a long sleep. I got in the shower, while in the shower i started to feel nauseous as if i was going to puke. I got out of the shower, dried off, put on some lotion; basic post shower routine. I went to the kitchen still feeling nauseous to get some water, then decided to hover over the toilet incase i puked. I never was able to puke so i went back to the kitchen for more water.
Avatar f tn Epilepsy is a recurrent seizure disorder caused by abnormal electrical discharges from brain cells, often in the cerebral cortex. A seizure disorder affects about 0.5% of the population. A single seizure does not mean that someone has epilepsy. I hope this helps. Take care and keep us posted.
1305767 tn?1361192676 I'm for the most part better but I still get panicky in the shower. The shower is one place I've had a panic attack before but I've never stopped my shower just sat down if I felt too dizzy. Is it common to panic in the shower? Maybe because it's an enclosed space or something.
Avatar n tn When the term white mater is used in reference to the nervous system, it means the part of the brain which is myelinated. Myelin is a fatty substance normally present in the brain and nerves and helps in proper functioning of the nerves and for proper propogation of nerve impulses. If your doctor said that she has white hings in the brain, then he probably means that there are some spots of calcification.
Avatar f tn I have been getting faint and passing out for about 5 years now, while i am running, and especially in the shower, having fainted numerous times in the shower (we do not have a bath). my doctor said the most likely cause is low blood pressure and to increase my salt intake, also I get to do this tilt table test too soon which will hopefully confirm this. Cutting caffeine out of my diet has helped dramatically, I went from 3-4 times daily to about once a day and now down to every couple days.
Avatar f tn (My first Dr appt is tomorrow) and I just had a scary experience in the shower..everything was fine and right toward the end I got the feeling that I was going to faint...I had to sit right down and change my water to freezing cold before I could muster up enough energy to get out...I still have the foggy feeling that I'm about to faint and I'm starting to feel nauseous...has this ever happened to anyone?
Avatar f tn I had almost the same problem couple weeks ago.
Avatar f tn I'm 12 years old and today i took a shower in the morning without eating or drinking. When i got in i felt dizzy and hot, so i had to get out. When i got out my vision blurred out, all i saw was black. So, using my hands i found a towel, then i needed to find the door so i was touching everything to try and find the door, i was getting frustrated because i couldnt see anything so thats when i fell to the ground and my vision came back.
Avatar m tn They began 3 yrs ago, when she had a seizure as she was finishing her shower. The ER Dr. called it syncope, so our insurance wouldn't cover an MRI. We saw an NL, but it was about a month after the seizure. She had no further symptoms so he ordered an EEG (which showed nothing) and sent us on our way. Fast forward to last Tuesday and she had another seizure, also getting out of the shower. This time I took her to our PC Dr. He ordered the MRI and an MRA because she is orthostatic.
Avatar f tn i took a shower to fight off a migraine-i have had too many to count over the years but always managed to deal with them on my own mostly-and when i went in the shower, i blinked......i woke up 15 minutes later, out of the shower, dry, in ANOTHER ROOM, with a chunk bitten out of my tongue. i was confused, disoriented and had no idea where i was, i could barely talk, walk, i was just lost. in la la land.
1474611 tn?1416632958 We have a cat who likes to be in the bathroom when I'm in there. It doesn't matter if I'm using the toilet or in the shower. When I'm in the shower, he's content to just sit in the bathroom while I'm showering. My husband has to chase our cat out at least 3 or 4 times. It's like our cat has a separation thing. When I come home, he's all over me and the fact that I'm home.
Avatar m tn s not the risk of the seizure itself, but rather when a dog convulses their body temp rises and the longer the seizure or the closer together they are, the greater the risk that the dog will essentially experience heat stroke. In extreme casses (long seizures or clusters with close proximity) organs can fail/be damaged and this is the danger. In her case their was no "cause". Essentially they consider her to have primary epilepsy.
