Avatar n tn Complications of migraine may include chronic migraine and even migraine-triggered seizure. Have him see his neurologist for proper evaluation. A complete neurological examiantion and further diagnostics such as EEG will help rule out seizure disorders. Take care and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn I`m not a doctor, but recently I´ve been doing a lot of reading on the topic and still learning a lot. I know that untreated or uncontroled hypertension and heart conditions as arytmia can be factors of danger of stroke. The seizure is also an alarm you should pay attention too if you aren´t epileptic. If you have a family historu of stroke it is another factor of danger. Do yourself a great favor and visit a neurologist right away...
Avatar n tn Hi, I'm new to the site and have found it extremely helpful. I have had Type I diabetes for 10 years now, and have never come across something so useful before. Keep up the great work^^ Onto my question. A couple of weeks ago, I was taken to the hospital by ambulance secondary to a "low blood sugar seizure." I have no recollection of a four hour period before I went to sleep, and then 3 hours after I was found seizing and taken to the emergency room.
1977740 tn?1326125480 hope your better now, i really feel your not going to have a seizure if you was you would of already had one. and you have not, a seizure comes on fast and you have it , it does not linger on for hours/days feeling like your going to have one, you do or dont and if you have no medical reason to have one then you wont. this is all from anxiety am sure , your mind is so powerful it can do so many things to your own body and we dont even know we are doing it to ourself.
Avatar n tn As long as the correct ************** is given to a person who has atypical (absence) seizures, they will not become a more severe form of epilepsy. However, left untreated, atypical seizure symptoms can get much worse, increasing in number and severity. There are many kinds of seizures and epilepsy, and it is critical that the correct medicine is used to keep them at bay, so a doctor who understands pharmacology well, they'll know what the best drugs are for certain types.
Avatar m tn She has taken meds on and off all of her life, and has not taken any meds at all for close to 5 years now. She has also been seizure free for 5 years, and feels great. She gets occasional migraines, and has fatigue (probably from lack of exercise) but all in all is a healthy woman.

Avatar f tn I started having a nervous breakdown in July. By the middle of August I had my first seizure and suffured a concussion from the fall. A month later I had another one and a very stupid Dr decided without talking to my Dr or checking my blood that it was due to drugs and put me into detox for 3 days. The day after I got out I had another seizure. This time the Dr. on call had a brain and talked to my Dr. and checked my blood.
629808 tn?1222245070 just founf out i have juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, which is also generalized. b/c it went untreated for yrs i had 1 grand mal seizure. i'm still kinda new at this but im pretty sure ive also have absence seizures. sine it went undiagnosed for yrs, these things started to become "normal" now theres a bit of a fine line whether im having a seizure or not. anyway, i take lamictal and i like it. it's helped me a lot. i had a couple side affects at the beginning but adjusted to it.
Avatar f tn She is most likely having some sort of seizure activity, which can cause a person to pass out, and most definitely is causing her to kick around so hard that she's bruising herself. You should tell her to go to her doctor and discuss her symptoms, and he should refer her to a neurologist who can do a full workup on her and he can give her medcines to control the fainting and muscle spasming.
3242988 tn?1359306516 Hello, If a person stops taking antiepileptic stops antiepileptic drugs he/she can experience a seizure. The duration of treatment and dosage and choice of drug depends on the cause of epilepsy and can be decided only by your doctor. Sudden withdrawal can lead to recurrence of seizures. It is best to avoid doing so. Untreated seizures can lead to Status epilepticus which can cause further injury to the brain. Consult your attending doctor for more queries and assistance. Best luck and regards!
Avatar f tn In looking at his symptoms, the aphasia stood out, but the loss of time almost seems more seizure like then TIA. Most stories I have read, TIA victims have not lost time with their attack. Thoughts?! I'm apparently more concerned than he is, but my brother had a stroke last year and has some very serious permanent damage from it, but lucky to have his life.
Avatar f tn We have a 3 year old female boxer that delivered a litter of pups on June 2nd had a seizure this afternoon. She was just sitting beside my husband and she fell over seized for about a minute and has seemed to recover fine. We've had no health issues with Molly and are totally shocked! Molly is nursing her litter and I fear what would happen if something happened to her. Anyone have any experience with this breed and seizures?

Avatar n tn A couple of days later she had a seizure which lasted about 30 seconds followed by a stiff neck. I took her to vet and blood tests showed some slightly low protein levels. He also noticed sagging skin on her chest all the way down to her legs (which he called edema) and some swollen mammory glands. He gave us doxycycline for possibble tick born disease. We have not seen a seizure since, other symptoms still persist.
Avatar n tn Your friend needs to meet a neuorologist and get examined for MRI brain. he needs to undergo EEG, and rule out any seizure abnormality. A trial of migraine medication to prevent and to treat the attacks is recommended to confirm these are migraines. Take care.
Avatar f tn It also sounds like mini seizures to me. The sounds can also be a type of seizure, if I'm not mistaken I think it's a type of abscence seizure. You didn't mention what tests they've done but I'm assuming they've done CT and MRI scans and an EEG. I think you're best bet would be to ask them to put you on some anti-epileptic medication and see if that works. The side effects can be a bit bad but at least if it helps you will know what it is.
Avatar f tn My husband had decompression surgery on 19th April for chiari malformation, since then he has been in and out of hospital due to collapsing with seizure etc he lost the use of his legs but thankfully now can walk, he has pappilidemia (not sure how to spell) in his eyes which is not getting any better. And chronic headaches. Lumbar puncture showed pressure but MRI's didn't, docs here are stumped, do you have any ideas?
1045176 tn?1253403447 Also, it is possible to lower the chances of getting kidney stones by increasing your intake of water while on the seizure medication, especially while taking a dose of the seizure medication (like, drinking 2 cups of water when you take the seizure medication). Now, if someone who had seizures and responded incredibly well to this specific medication took it, the probably would never get kidney stones.
Avatar f tn You Must see a Dr You can't leave these seizures untreated. You can die from a seizure!! They will give you meds to treat this— Please call tomorrow for an appointment!!

Avatar m tn Welcome to the Forum. I'll try to help. The exposures you describe are unlikely to have given you gonorrhea or other STD. High risk or not, condom protected sex is safe sex, making infection most unlikely. Further, as far as ejaculation is concerned, the situation you describe does not bring to mind any STD, particularly with negative tests. Your 8 week test results provide virtually definitive evidence that you do not have gonorrhea or other STDs as the cause of your discharge.
Avatar n tn Hello. I'm just wondering what would happen if an STD is left untreated? particularly herpes? And what tests should i take? And is it possible that herpes heals on its own over time? Here's my story just to give you a background: About 5 years ago, i had a regular "activity partner," we're just 18 at that time. We had intercourse like 5-7 times only. we soon parted ways because of some reasons.
Avatar f tn Why did you mention untreated hypothyroidism? What, if any, other symptoms do you have? Please post your thyroid related test results and reference ranges shown on the lab report.
Avatar m tn My symptoms are caused by one of three things. 1. Hiatal Hernia 2. Circopharyngeal Spasm or 3. Symptoms of my untreated Gerd. I will treat my Gerd for 60 days and I'm told by many if symptoms have not gone away or nearly disappeared I can rule that out. I myself am leaning toward the Circopharyngeal Spasm as my symptoms worsen as the day goes on and is not noticeable in the morning. Do you find the lump in your throat feeling worsens as the day progresses mark?
