seizure symptoms head trauma

But this morning I came across something strange I was touching my right side of my head it was sore which I found werid I massaged it and triggered a head seizure which I thought that was strange I did the same thing on my left side same thing. Then I decided to experiment and see what would happen if I massaged my whole head and it triggered my head to move in odd ways which was scary . I've also noticed that at night my head gets itchy . What could be causing this ?

Then, in 1975, I had a lacerated scalp injury and blunt force trauma to the right side top of head. It was an open head wound. It required 8-10 stitches to close the wound. Within 6 months I started seizure like symptoms. I would suddenly stop breathing, my back would arch up-ward and I would row off the sofa onto the hardwood flooring gasping for breath. I was nervous and jittery the rest of the night. At first they came only once a month. Then, in 1977, I had another accident.

My doctor stated that usually with severe head trauma such as what I experienced, usually the patient has a seizure right then or around that time. But I didn't have one ubtil three years later.

over the last 18 months he has had what i think are a form of seizure, the symptoms are, he will rub his fingers together on his right hand, and lick his lips, and seems to be in a day dream for about 1 minute, when i ask him about it he doesnt realize what has happened. are these fits dangerous and should he seek medical advise, or could it be anything to do with the remaining plates in his skull? it is such a worry and would be gratefull if you could give me some advice.

I had a head injury in 1975, requiring several stitches, open scalp wound, blunt force trauma.

You say that the twitching/ pulsing started in the throat and moved up to her chin and lips, was there any trauma to her head before anything started. A lot can count as brain trauma so any falls or crashes before the twitching.

Some of the most common problems that can cause chronic issues with smell and taste include respiratory infections, head trauma, and chronic rhinosinusitis.

Can trauma to the eardrum followed by a severe headache cause a seizure? The background...It was one of the scariest moments of my life. My fiance was cleaning his ear with a Q-tip when I accidentally bumped his arm. He flinched for a few minutes(there was no bleeding), said the left side of his head was kind of tingly, then he progressivley developed a headache. It took some aspirin and within literally minutes was asleep.

Hi all, M25. On an off for several weeks now, I've had 'jerking' sort of 'spasms', or twitching through my head, usually I'll just for instance be sitting down and walking around and there will be this mild/moderate involuntary 'twitch' I'll experience, thankfully without any other obvious symptoms, except maybe very slight brain fog and ringing in the ears.

, consider yourself lucky if you dont have other symptoms ( i suffer from many symptoms constant dizziness, fatigue, neck pain etc.,) so in my case medication is not that successful since it increased my symptoms and i got more depressed. again each one is different how they react to any treatment. recovery from a head/mtbi can be very short within weeks to years. It is impossible to predict.

Considering your son suffers from seizures did he recently have a seizure and fall over hitting his head? CSF leaking out of the nose is caused by increased intracranial pressure usually as a result of blunt force trauma. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/otolaryngology/specialty_areas/sinus_center/conditions/csf_leaks.html You may want to get your child to a Dr. since its not only due to trauma but tears that are spontaneous and they must be repaired.

I was in a car accident was I was 6 yeas old and had severe head trauma in which my skull did not fracture(paralyzed on my left side completely for 1 month and in a coma for 5 days). I suffered brain damage as a result(scarring). I ended up having a twitch in which I would jerk my head to the left and down towards my left shoulder for about 6 months and speech problems, eventually came back to normal.

ve recently read about people with epilepsy being prescribed to marijuana, and how the cannibanoid receptors help decrease the chances of have a seizure. So my question is, would it be safe to smoke marijuana after the head trauma four weeks ago? Not necessarily in a large amount of course. Please don't answer with "smoking weed is bad for you" or "you shouldn't be smoking weed anyways".

and was told it was caused from the alcohol and from skipping my seizure med dose...so if ur husband does drink make sure he takes his anti seizure meds if he takes any...nways thats my experience with mixing drinks and brainsurgery....bad mix!!! I completely stoppd drinking now...it felt like somone had used my head as a punching bag the morning after drinks after my surgery...so no more it just hurts to much!!!

I would try and find the closest emergency vet..the kitten probably sustained head trauma which caused the seizure and his abnormal breathing. He needs treatment to reduce the swelling in his brain.

Hope the little kitty makes it..

Anytime there is a possibility of head trauma, time is of the essence. Trauma to the head causes swelling to the brain in the skull. There is not enough room for the brain to swell so it can cause seizures and death. Steroids to keep the inflamation down are a must if the animal is going to survive severe head trauma. If you ever suspect head trauma immediate veterinary care is crucial to stop swelling. No amount of supportive care can stop the brain from swelling.
