Partner had a stroke april 21 but only this last 6mths she has had 1/2 episodes where she has gone to laugh and had one i would describe as a seizure - she stares and goes red as though struggling to breath then 10ish secs later she is absolutely fine- anyone else had similar
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.
I have tried to cold turkey my way out of taking fioricet 3-4 times a day, this caused me to have a very bad mental break down. My fear is that I will have a seizure, I have delt with someone else having a medication withdrawal seizure (tonic-clonic, or clonic tonic I forget what the order is) and that dreadful noise is forever stuck in my head!
Not sure if I fainted or had some form of a Seizure as I understand there are several types of Seizures. If anyone could give me their opinion, that would be greatly appreciated.
I was laying down on couch watching tv. I was doing nothing abnormal or different throughout the day. I got up from couch walked in the kitchen and collapsed on floor face first, with a slight cut above my eyebrow with my right cheek pressed against floor.
I was unconscious for approx 1 minute.
when my mother was younger she fell asleep at the movies, then realized she had fallen asleep. Upon awaking, she banged her head on the crossbar of her jeep and was knocked out for a little while. ever since then, during menstration, if she wakes up from a deep sleep, she usually has a seizure. now that she is in her menopause stage, she has it more often when she comes out of a deep sleep. this only happens when sleeping or sometimes dozing off into a sleep then waking up.
My dad, who is 61 has been having seizure-like episodes for almost 2 years now. Other stuff happens when he has one of these episodes. The left side of his face droops. He can't speak. His head twitches. Sometimes all his limbs will get rigid and he can't move. His left side gets weak and really starts to hurt him. Sometimes during these episodes he stops breathing and has to be told to breathe. Sometimes he can feel them coming on and other times he can't.
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. The only reason for me to believe it was a seizure is because i woke up to a loud banging noise, which happened to be my head hitting the wall continuously, but i didnt feel it and couldnt control it. once i stood up i was still very dizzy, confused and scared because i ended up completely turned around and on the ground of my shower.
These are juvenile seizures which include myoclaunic jerks in the body. Other symptoms can occur, too, like head thrashing, speech problems, passing out but with complete consciousness.
I was put on heavy meds for these....and the seizures became worse. I also gained weight. I was sick a lot of the time, too. I'm guessing it was because of a mildly toxic liver.
If you've experienced this type of epilepsy, I'd like to hear from you. I have pretty much kept my under control.
I don't think people who have a seizure remember the seizure, but he definitely had something. Maybe it's a thyroid problem. He needs to be seen, but an ER is the slowest, most expensive and least efficient way to do it.
But a three year old dog should not have these problems and in a young dog this can be indicative of seizure activity. People tend to think that a seizure means the dog is convulsing or thrashing on the floor but there are different types of seizures. It is entirely possible for a dog to appear as though it is just zoning out and staring off into space. It can be a mild head tremor.
hi i would like to know if it is normal when sometimes it happens that a kind electrical wave passes through the surface of my head and that makes me feel confused.This happens when i remember something bad or very exciting from past or sometime even without cause.I would like to know why might this happen or is there any thing to do about this.I am 18 and i have some problems with high blood pressure.Thank you for your time.
My first thought was a food allergy. My aunt didn't used to have problems but several years ago developed an allergy to corn to where she would have a migraine every time she had corn products. Since you said the diet didn't seem to matter now, I'm not sure that doing a elimination diet to find the cause would be helpful but it might. The other thought was seizure activity. For twenty years, I had absence seizures and a few grand mals. I had brain surgery six years ago for this.
Hi
I suggest you have this assessed by a neurologist. This may be a partial seizure. These seizure types may not present with the convulsions noted in the more generalized tonic clonic seizures. You have noted that you also have headaches accompanying these?
For how long have you noted this ?
Have you ever been assessed by a physician with regards to your symptoms?
m not sure if I should be describing it as a rocking motion. I feel as if its more like a head jerk. He will jerk his head up and down several times. It always starts with him jerking his head back first then forward. It looks as if he is saying yes. About 95% of the time it occurs while he is on his tummy, although occasionally I've seen him do this while sitting. He does not cry afterwards or do anything with his eyes. In fact after he does this he seems to continue to play normally.
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!

m suffering from extreme spells of dizziness, often leading in loss of consciousness, or vision and feeling in my body. Two years ago, It resulted in a seizure. Before each spell I feel extremely light headed, dizzy, shaky, and disoriented, I lose the feeling in my body, and I lose the ability to talk, and I can not think clearly, a lot of nausea, and it's very hard to breath. I don't always lose consciousnesses completely, but it's like I my entire body shuts off.
