seizure

209227 tn?1242346745 Lat year (2006) I was diagnosed with a seizure. I am a Type 1 diabetic. I'm 36 now. However I could not wake up in the morning last year. So the ambulance was called and when they checked my blood sugar, it was OK, not high or low. This was classified as a seizure and I did'nt wake up in the hopital for about 3 weeks. Is this classified as a seizure. It did affect my memory and was put on seizure medication for 6 months. In you're opinion was this a seizure?

Avatar n tn Things such as alcohol, poor diet, obeseity, viral hepatitis and medication. These are some of the most common causes although there are many more.
Avatar f tn Ever since my Neurologist started taking me off my anti seizure meds, I've started getting these brain spasms, I guess you could call them that anyways. They only happen on days I'm not on my meds. For example, last week when I tried not to take my meds for the first time, I had a really bad brain spasm where my entire brain kinda froze, and my body jolted and I dropped everything I was holding. I had many more of those and had to go home from school.
Avatar f tn Nathan was started on a diet for Seizure control...Ketogenic Diet. He had his last grand mal seizure the 3 day on the diet. His muscle and drop seizures ended 2 months later completely, but we noticed they were less harsh with each one he had til they just stopped." - excerpt from KetoGenic Diet for Seizures.
Avatar n tn Many people experience a once off seizure (I think it's something like 1% of the population) Were you doing anything at the time that could have triggered it? The only thing you can do at the moment is wait for the EEG results and that will determine where you will go from here.

Avatar f tn It is a physical manifestation of a psychological disturbance or from organic causes. Examples of organic causes include fainting, migraine, and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs). I hope this helps. Take care and best regards.
Avatar f tn It's always best to consult more than one vet (even at a different vet clinic) with issues as serious as this. At 17 years old (WOW! by the way), your poor baby boy definitely deserves a better quality of life, and it doesn't seem to be achievable on this particular drug. You must remember that it takes a while for a dogs system to adjust to the drug (even in a young dog) so it is difficult to say whether this is achievable in such an extremely old dog. Ask your vet.
Avatar n tn i want to know if there are other solutions that are effective. also if there is something good to do during a seizure. i give her a spoonful of natural van ice cream after each one. is that okay or good?
Avatar m tn My diet is made up of regular meals every 3 hours of protein, fats and carbs to keep hypoglycemia at bay. My question is will there or could there be bad issues having both low blood sugar and high blood pressure at the same time? or are these both two different issues that when combined wont add or increase symptoms?
Avatar m tn If GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter, how does diazepam can cause anti-depress? I heard that it can treat seizure? Seizure is a disease that is over-stimulation, repetitive, uncontrolled neuronal firing in CNS. May I know how does it treat seizure? Thanks.
Avatar f tn Last night I was 45 minutes late to giving my dog the phenbarbatol ( sp), and his thyroid medication. This morning he had a mild seizure, first one that I am awear of since 3 months. Could being late have caused it this morning? I added a quarter more medication today to each of his dose ( twice a day). I called the vet and they want to recheck his blood levels, which I will do next week.
Avatar f tn U really should not self medicate and should have a dr oversee ur care....in the meantime u can take some OTC meds and watch ur diet. We have a section called Health Pages which has a list of foods to avoid and foods that r safe for people with gerd. U will have to see what is better for u ....some on the safe list may not be good for u.
Avatar n tn The real question is why you would want to do a "diet." Do you have weight issues? Food does have a big influence on most forms of acne, although which foods differ by the person. There would be a way to do any "diet" and avoid foods you want to avoid, as there are a lot of foods available in today's global economy.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn Stress causes seizures and different things I even get stressed out.
Avatar n tn I am a Type II diabetic (diagnosed 10 years ago) on metformin (1,000 mg. daily) and prandin (2 mg with meals). I have been diagnosed with a heart problem and have been exercising regularly as part of cardiac rehab. I have been experiencing frequent sugar lows, resulting in blurred vision and dizzyness. Last week, I awoke in the hospital after having diabetic seizures. I remember feeling weak and taking some glucose tablets. Apparently these weren't enough to ward off the seizure.
Avatar n tn the most likely cause of these syomptoms is infection of colon
Avatar f tn Hello, I was 21 when I had my first seizure. I have had 2 seizures since and I am now 31. I know, in my case, that my diet was very poor and I was under a lot of stress. I also wasn't sleeping well and was having muscle cramps. Do any of those things apply to your son? Seizures can be caused by many, many things. People have varying degrees of epilepsy as well. Typically, things such as stress and a poor diet lower the threshold for having a seizure.
458594 tn?1206301123 This would involve bloodwork to check for metabolic, endocrine and infectious causes and other blood tests such as a Lyme,or Ehrlichia check. His heart would also need an evaluation, since syncope can appear as a seizure. Other causes of seizures are abnormalities in the brain either from trauma, or a lesion in the brain.
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 f tn I have double vision and blurred vision at times, I don't know why. I have epilepsy (absence and grand mal seizures) but this doesn't seem like a absence seizure as I am still aware when it is happening. I can only see clearly when I close one eye... Help and advice please.
Avatar m tn I am having an ultrasound in the morning, and my doctor is also checking for hepatitus and mono. What are the common causes for these types of levels? I just received this info today, and I am looking for some knowledge and any recomendations anyone may have. Thanks for the help.
897333 tn?1280391278 It can really give some helpful information as to causes of the seizure. Bloodwork can point out problems with the liver and kidneys, which can and do causes seizures. And, if these conditions show up, your vet will help you change up her diet and give your kitty added quality of life. I really do agree with you about not doing anything invasive-I'm in the same boat w/ my 17 yr old-but, I do believe in bloodwork and other noninvasive tests!
