Common Questions and Answers about Seizure observation record

seizure

Avatar n tn I had one seizure about 3 weeks ago,and so far its unexplained...I just had a eeg done today and are waiting for results...could this possibly never happen again? and are there such things as only one seizure and never having another one?? What could some of the causes be?
Avatar f tn 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 m tn My son is 3yrs he will be 4 in June, perfectly normal little boy with normal development, no seizure history in both sides of the family. His 1st seizure was feb 17, 2011 lasted about a minute, the night before he had a high fever and later that same day also. Both fevers were treated. On the first episode he spent the night at the hospital for observation because when they took his temperature in the emergency room it was actually low 96F.
Avatar n tn i am 22 and have an eight week old baby i had a seizure 3 days ago this was my first what could it be
Avatar m tn Hi. If your observation is that your son has a seizure "everytime" he eats, it would be safe to say it's a trigger. Have you taken a video of the seizure activity? Has anyone taken a look down his throat? Perhaps he should see an Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist. That's where I would take him. Does it seem to make a difference if he's eating hot or cold foods? Does drinking liquids bring on the seizure? Or just solid foods?
Avatar f tn It could be epilepsy, but the fact that, from the way you mentioned it, the head banging somewhat woke you up does not point toward a seizure because usually when you come out of a seizure, you are confused, extremely tired, and sore. Also, you wouldn't be able to be woken up from the head banging. Although, the fact that the shower nob held up your head by hair would be suspicious of something more than fainting...
Avatar n tn My son had a bad fall resulting in concussion and seizure at a skate park about 18 months ago and then a fairly small stack on his dirt bike resulting in another concussion about 10 months ago. The first incident he was discharged within 7 hours and the second he was in hospital (a different one) for four days for observation.
Avatar f tn It sounds like he is having a seizure, with the right medicine, he will be him self again, please don't hesitate to get him to a vet, if you want to save his life. Which I am certain you do! Good Luck to you!
Avatar f tn my 13 month old does this thing where his eyes roll in the back of his head slightly nods and his left arm extends out to his side and his right arm goes up in the waving position and his hand looks like it is waving...when he does this it kinda looks like a seizure..but if i grab him or call his name he stops! I can even get him to laugh while he is doing this! Can this behavior be a seizure??
Avatar m tn If the cause of your cats seizure disorder is FIP than phenobarbital will not be as effective in controlling the seizures as it would be for idiopathic seizure disorder. It sounds as if your cat may have a long prodromal phase, than the seizure, and then a very long postictal phase; and if this is the case, it may not be status epilepticus. A consult with a veterinary neurologist may be very valuable. Record one of the seizures to show to your vet.
Avatar n tn My question is would the trauma of a hard fall, without hitting the head, combined with double intoxication be a likely explanation for the loss of consciousness? Would a bump on the head that did not cause lasting pain be enough to cause syncope or seizure or subdural hematoma or concussion? Might the double intoxication itself have caused syncope or seizure, even? Would a scan be necessary in this situation? Any opinion or elucidation would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar n tn Is there any research showing a loss of libido for men taking anti-seizure meds for epilepsy? Specifically neurontin or dilantan. If so, are there any treatments or suggested alternatives? Tks, concerned wife.
Avatar n tn My 15 yo DS had a seizure this weekend. The first we've experienced in almost 9 years since dx. He, too, had paramedics come to our house and take him to ER; he had to be admitted overnight for observation. We didn't hear anything when our DS had his seizure; he may have made sounds, but we did not hear them. After the seizure, he complained of excrutiating head pain over and over -- that's one of the only coherent things he could say "My head hurts!".
Avatar f tn ) However, since there has been a seizure and an abnormal EEG, the risk for another seizure is a bit higher than if the EEG had been normal. You'll want to monitor your daughter carefully with it in the back of your mind. She may very well never have another seizure in her life! But she may have one, and you'll want to be prepared mentally for this.
Avatar f tn Thanks for replying so quickly. they did a blood analysis in the hospital last week but I might see a nephrologist for another opinion, as you suggested. I I have medium to low blood pressure and am pretty healthy-- except for the "partial seizure" diagnosis. \Maybe the seizure was caused by the damaged cells in my brain (I did not have neuro surgery after the stroke). I hope it is possible for seizures to stop eventually. I would hate for this to be a life-long problem.
Avatar n tn Loss of conscious in any emergency room I have every worked in mandates an overnight stay for observation. This is not the case in certain emergency rooms in Somalia and Afghanistan, and a little Island off the coast of Iceland notorious for practicing polygamy, but everywhere else, that is the drill. Clearly a neurological event took place, which seems to have been consistent with a petit mal seizure, etiology unknown.
Avatar f tn He may order an electroencephalograph (EEG) to record your baby’s brain activity to know if what kind of seizure present and what kind of medications, if needed. You can learn more about this through this link: http://www.babycenter.com/0_seizure_10907.bc I hope this helps. Take care and please do update us.
Avatar f tn m healthy. 3 months ago I had my first seizure which resulted in a over night hospital stay...for observation. While there I had 2 more seizures. Spent 5 days there total. After the second and third seizure they gave me a loading dose of Dilantin, Ativan to calm my seizures. Vancomycin for possible infection. Gave my to much Vancomycin and I had red man syndrome. Which then they had to give my Benadryl. Completely wiped me out and I was asleep for 3 days.
5126953 tn?1363983843 His doctor is somewhat correct, an EEG test doesn't always confirm epilepsy or a seizure disorder unless he's having activity related to a seizure at the time of the test. All of his EEG's and MRI's may show no evidence of seizures, however, that doesn't mean ignore his seizures, he needs treatment. Sometimes a seizure will leave evidence of a stroke which may or may not show up on an MRI. It doesn't sound like your husband is having strokes.
Avatar m tn Our daughter who is 18 had her 1st seizure in Aug. She was not put on medication. Cat scan, MRI, and EEG showed nothing. She just had another episode but this week and this time they are calling it a Syncope. I spoke to the neurologist and over the phone he called it a seizure. Should we be seeking a neurologist who specializes in seizures. If test results are all negative is she considered to have epilepsy?
Avatar m tn Halter monitor showed no arrhythmia, echo showed no structural defect. Neurology testing shows no cause for seizure. Would a cardiac arrhythmia cause a seizure? If so what test should be done to determine he has a cardiac arrhythmia that could cause a seizure? A family member has a pacemaker for arrhythmia and syncope that was detected after a third tilt table test.
Avatar n tn During end of 5th month, he has an seizer early in the morning due to high fever, no movement of his eyeball, hand and leg became stiff say for around a minute or so. He was taken to hospital and then was kept under observation. During afternoon he had one more seizure, this time his hand movements were erratic, so he was shifted to ICU for observation and medication. He was treated with Eptoin from then.
Avatar m tn 8 years back I was told that I had a seizure. My doctor immediately refereed "sodium valporate 200mg" which I took it continuously for 3 years. Then I stopped my med without consulting my doc as every-time I took my med, I felt lazy, sleepy and even my toilet was untimely. - I never had another seizure up-to this day. - On mid 2018, now I am more into alcohol( beers, whisky), smoking and coffee. - On Oct 9 I got blackout 2 times for the first time.
572651 tn?1530999357 Pseudoseizures are a complex phenomenon. They are felt to be a type of conversion reaction, but, there is also a somewhat high likelihood of the person developing a true neurologic disorder in the future. Many neuros (enlightened ones) are hyposthesizing that they are indicative of some mild, dysfunction in the nervous system. This is NOT the most widely held view, though. The diagnosis of pseudoseizures is made by capturing the EEG during one of the events.
Avatar f tn However, instead of just throwing up and stopping he seemed to keep throwing up and I thought he was chocking because his back end slowly dropped to the floor and he rolled to his side and all muscles froze up and he looked like he started going into a seizure (tongue was out, jaw locked and he was urinating). I could feel his heartbeat but could not open his mouth because all muscles were locked.
Avatar n tn That is more concerning for a seizure! The pain may be a prodrome for a seizure (sometimes those with seizures have symptoms or sensations before the seizure begins, which can be a warning to get down and prepare for the seizure). I would advise your friend to seek immediate medical attention, particularly from a neurologist. If they have specific cardiac tests they want to perform their evaluation, they can pursue them at that time.
