seizure symptoms partial seizures

Since he doesn't loose consciousness then it is most likely a 'Partial' seizure disorder. Partial seizures only occurr in a section of the brain. 'Complex Partial' seizures also only occurr in a section of the brain but eplipetics loose consciousness during these seizures. A nuerologists can treat your son for this and prescibe medications that could possibly control his partial seizures. Have your MD refer you to a local nuerologist.

Hi, I sincerely feel that the symptoms which you’ve described are suggestive of partial seizures and levetiracetam(torleva) is the right drug for the same but I feel that you may not be getting adequate dosage of the same and hence there’s incomplete cure of the symptoms. I think you should discuss with your neurologist regarding increasing the dosage of Torleva which may result in an improvement of your symptoms.

People with a generalized seizure disorder are usually born with it, while people with partial or complex partial get it sometime during thier life. Generlaized seizures occurr over the entire brain, while complex partial only occurr in a section of the brain. I have complex partial seizures that occurr in my right temporal lobe. They started from a head injury I got when I was three. They occurr only while I'm sleeping.

Ten years later in 1985, I went to the Western Neurology Group for special test for Seizures and it came back possitive for Complex Partial Seizures. Complex Partial Seizures and Simply Partial Seizures can act like the Anxiety Disorder as well. So, if a neurologist does not do special test he or she will simply diagnose it as comon Anxiety Disorder instead of what it really is, Epilepsy.

Hello everyone, I am new here, I have been on the MS and Lyme forum but have had some questions regarding the type of seizures that I have. I was dx'd with simple partial seizures after having 5 abnormal EEG's. According to my Neuro. .. the slurred speech that I have had that would last up to two weeks long are a seizure, and that my brain is misfiring and getting stuck for two weeks. Just wondering if any of you have ever heard of that?

I started out a two years ago with having tonic clonic like seizures. I went to a neurologist who tried me on Keppra which worked but I had a bad reaction to it so he took me off of it. Then he tried Dilantin which I was on for a week, but he took me off of it after having one seizure. He did a long term video eeg, but I had no seizures. My eeg was normal so he diagnosed me with psychogenic non-epileptic seizures.

Was just wondering....I am 35....I was diognosed with complex partial seizures about 5 years ago...recently went back to the Dr. because my seizures had seemed to have worsend...I was then diognosed with Generalized Copmlex seizures....is that the same as Grand Molls? and I am now 8wks pregnant can this affect the baby and if so how? I am not on any meds at this moment in time....Thx for any help or advice given!

Partial seizures are subdivided into simple partial seizure (in which consciousness is retained); and complex partial seizure (in which consciousness is impaired or lost). Virtually any movement, sensory, or emotional symptom can occur as part of a partial seizure, including complex visual or auditory hallucinations. To know more about this, you can visit this link: http://www.emedicine.com/neuro/TOPIC342.HTM I hope this helps. Take care and please do update us.

Seizure activity is divided into two categories, generalized and partial seizure activity. When generalized seizures occur, the owner may notice changes in consciousness, limb motions, urination and/or defecation, salivation (drooling), dilated (wide) pupils and vocalization. Partial seizures are characterized by abnormal limb movements on one side of the body and there may or may not be any of the other symptoms of a generalized seizure. There are different stages of seizures: 1.

It sounds like you are having symptoms of temporal lope seizures. You can read about the "normal" symptoms that a person might experience. One of them is a Vivid deja vu (a sense of familiarity) or recalled memories or emotions http://www.webmd.com/epilepsy/understanding-temporal-lobe-seizure-symptoms Let me know if this helps you any.

Patients with simple focal seizures do not lose consciousness and remember the events that occur at the time while patients with complex partial seizures will have abnormal consciousness and may or may not remember the seizure. Other symptoms include abnormal muscle contraction, repetitive movements, abnormal sensations, nausea and changes in mood or emotion. Diagnosis is usually with a complete neurological examination and EEG.

I have have one instance of a tonic clonic seizure, and serveral instances of complex-partial seizures (according to my newest neurologist). My question concerns to results I received for my MRA test. My EEG was normal, once again, and my glucose tolerance test was also normal. However, it appears as if my MRA showed signs of mild encephalopathic hippocampo gyrus (bilaterally). I have absolutely no idea what this means, and my appointment isn't for another couple of weeks.

Your shaking in the bed does appear to be a generalized phenomenon. The seizure usually starts as a partial one, then spreads to be generalized seizure. The partner usually wakes up when you are having whole body movements. They generally miss the initial part of the seizure. Menstruation is the time when the estrogen hormone is in excess. This hormone is known to increase the frequency and severity if seizures. You will benefit from progesterone during such times.

Primary Generalized Seizure, Absence Seizure, Atypical Absence Seizure, Myoclonic Seizure, Atonic Seizure, Tonic Seizure, Clonic Seizure, Tonic-Clonic Seizure, Partial Seizure, Simple-Partial Seizure, Complex-Partial Seizure, Secondary Generalized Seizure, Psychogenic Seizure, and Hypoxic Seizure.

It also says that tonic-clonic (the new word for gran mal) seizures can be predicted by the aura, also known as a simple partial seizure. Sometimes people don't have auras, and go right into the complex partial seizure part. However, if you do get an aura, you can prepare yourself for a seizure, so you won't be surprised. And avoid triggers!

I have had it for 24 years and not controlled by meds. I suffer from partial left lobe seizures that may become generalized. I have trouble with memory as it is bad anyways, I want that to improve not be worse. I have emotional problems which from research can come from problems with the partial lobe. I want my seizures to be controlled as well. I am really scared. They want me to be a candidate for brain surgery. Can anyone tell me their stories on how it has been for them? Help!

The doctor said alot of kids have seizures for unknow reasons and they usally outgrow it as they get older. Now that we have a new doctor he says my son has complex partial seizures that start in his frontal lobe. He said its hard to say he will outgrow it becuase when you have seizures that usually start in one area you usually have them through your life. Is that true??! Or does he not just want to give me false hope?? Does my son at least have a chance to outgrow it???

I thought for a while I was having partial seizures, but the doctor said that partial seizures are on one side of the body. A typical seizure involves loss of consciousness. My neurologist thought that my jerking back muscles were a result of myoclonus in the spine. I also have it in my left leg and neck, although not to the extent you experience.

The face drooping that was noted to occur before your grand-mal seizure is not a sign of that you are having a stroke before your seizure. Seizures can be partial onset, in which the seizure starts in a specific part of the brain, and then may or may not spread to other areas of the brain, leading to a grand-mal seizure (the other type of seizure is generalized: it starts throughout the brain more or less at once).

Your seizures are simple partial seizures. ( Simple = because you are aware during the seizure, partial = it does not involve the whole body). I think you should see a Neurologist as soon as possible.

and get simple partial seizures everyday usually about 3 a day.i get periods of extream fatigued where soemtimes i cant even stand, also a lot of blurred vision and muscle twitches. i've started taking magnesium which appears to be helping.do you think i need medication .im concerned as i work in a pool as a swimming teacher in the water. and i want to feel well again,im sick of this!where do i go for help?

and it has been narrowed down to one of two causes - either he is having complex partial seizures, and during and after them his heart rate is dropping and then returning to normal or he has an organic heart problem and will require a pacemaker to correct the bradicardia...

I recently found out I am about 5 weeks pregnant, I have an appt to see my OB in 2 weeks. I am also an epileptic with complex-partial seizures, I am not on any meds for it right now and I know anything I could take would be unhealthy for the baby. Does anyone know what I can do to try and help? Having seizures and preggo symptoms is just too much and I feel awful all the time. I can't sleep, I have constant headaches, and I throw up when I have a seizure. Please help!!

starting all over the brain simultaneously--a generalized seizure--or starting in one area, a partial seizure. If the seizure activity involves one small area in the brain--enough to cause odd sensations or loss of motor control, but not broad enough to cause loss of consciousness--these are called simple partial seizures. Complex partial seizures involve enough of the brain to cause odd sensations and loss of consciousness.
