seizure

Avatar f tn This sort of behavior can be typical of some children who display certain types of developmental disorders, and it will also be important to rule out any seizure activity. The first place to turn is to your child's pediatrician, who can refer the child to a pediatric neurologist.
Avatar f tn There is no simple, definitive test for a seizure disorder. Often, seizure disorders are diagnosed based on patient history and observation of a seizure. If your daughter had a seizure lasting 30 min., that would qualify for a diagnosis in the minds of many clinicians. I'm sure you'll follow up with the diagnosing doctors and others as necessary. I hope the seizure turns out to be a one-time event.
Avatar m tn Meaning that if an EEG is done during an attack (such as the convulsion you describe above) and the EEG shows the seizure in the brain waves, then the seizure can be confirmed. In other people, convulsions occur but these are due to stress and not true seizures coming from epileptic activity in the brain, in which case the EEG will not show epileptic activity during the convulsion.
Avatar f tn HI, An epileptic cannot have both a complex partial seizure disorder and a generalized seizure disroder. 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.

Avatar n tn This drug is mainly used in the treatmen for seizure disorders, trigeminal neuralgia (pain). Dosage is 100-200 mg once or twice daily until unless changed ny a competent physician.
Avatar f tn While at one of my children's basketball practice, my other two boys were running around and playing. At some point my three year old was on the ground, lying on his side and his whole body shook for about 5 seconds. His eyes were open and he had a scared look on his face. After he shook, he then began to cry. He quickly recovered and when asking him questions he said that the floor was going down. He also did a gesture like spinning to describe.
Avatar n tn (Currently available) antipsychotics can cause permenant movement disorder such as tardive dyskinesia. However, they must wait a period of time for withdrawl dyskineis to pass. From my knowledge atypical antipsychotics can increase the seizure threshold but this effect is generally not permanent. It would be best to see a neurologist who is a movement disorders specialist and have them do full follow up including an EEG (the specific kind to try to set off seizures) and an MRI.
Avatar n tn It was awful so I do understand how brain chemical disorders and electrical disorders can make you appear healthy but in reality you are as ill as anyone else with a problem. just believe in yourself and ignore the jerks and realize most people understand.
Avatar n tn I would definitely take her to the vet, although not necessarily to have her put down. I would let the vet examine her to see what he/she thinks the problem could be and take it from there. Seizure disorders can be managed medically, it's not necessarily the end of the line just because she had a seizure. I would, however, definitely get the vet involved.
2030686 tn?1351688548 I remember the gastro saying I needed to be seizure free for so long b4 I can tx. Does anybody know why this is? Will the medications lower my seizure threshold even more? My reg dr put in a call to the neuro after I had a few seizures this weekend and she put me on Keppra.
401370 tn?1233324682 d have to be suffering from severe, repeated, constant seizures, and with no medical attention. Some people who have seizure disorders often stop breathing during a seizure but it's such a short period of time. In severe cases, say an E.R. and someone's seizing badly, oxygen would be applied. You do not have brain damage.
Avatar m tn Conversion disorders are disorders in which the patient suffers from symptoms of diseases that he does not actually have. The symptoms of a pseudoseizure are almost same as those of an epileptic seizure, but their origin is psychological, not neurological. One of the characteristic differentiating feature of an epileptic seizure is that there is an abnormal discharge of electricity from the brain during the seizure whereas there is no such electrical discharge during a pseudoseizure.
Avatar n tn Hello and welcome! In adults the choice of an antiepileptic drug depends on several factors like type of seizure, associated medical disorders and use of any medications etc.Dilantin,carbamezapine,valproate can be used in temporal lobe seizures.Topamax,keppra,lamotrigine can be used as add on drugs with medications mentioned above.Dilantin doesn’t cause depression but can cause decrease in renal function,headache,dizziness,confusion,double vision etc.
Avatar n tn It is also a medication used for the treatment of seizure disorders, and migraines.
7659759 tn?1394402943 I have not heard of epilepsy causing underlying issues after having seizures when you were younger. Since you have had migraines or headaches, this indicates a small seizure, is it on a particular part of your head or region? Do smells or light set it off or do they just happen ? The fact one of your eye pupil dialates different can be a number of things, have you had blood work done? 2nd are you seeing your gerneral Dr,? or a neurologist?
Avatar f tn I dont have money to get meds i need every month or to see a doctor wat should do i cant get help no medicaid or care or disiabilty i just feel like buying a gun and killing myself i have a seizure like three to for times a month i am at my end i hope god will stil love me if i shoot myself
Avatar f tn There are several conditions which can mimic seizures like a syncope, parasomnias, and movement disorders. There is a condition called psychogenic nonepileptic seizure (PNES) in which there are sudden and time-limited disturbances of motor, sensory, autonomic, cognitive, and/or emotional functions, these are psychogenically determined. Other conditions mimicking seizures are conversion disorder, panic attacks and migraine attacks.
572072 tn?1217126880 m sorry to learn what happened. Your son may be really be having a seizure disorder of unknown etiology. Most seizure disorders have indeed no identifiable cause, and they are just classified according to presentation, and the treatment is tailored according to these classifications as well. Your son may have different kinds of seizures, but a thorough search for a cause should be sought (like EEG, MRI, etc).
Avatar m tn My 16 yr old daughter was taken to the doctors 12 days ago due to dizzyness, weakness & three strange lumps (1 on her index finger, 1 on back of thigh, 1 near ribcage; lumps do not hurt and do not seem to be "attached" to muscles and cause no pain). Doc said she probably had a virus. 3 days ago she had a seizure like a granmal. 1st one she's ever had. Blood tests were unremarklable however a CT and MRI showed lesions on her frontal lobe.
Avatar f tn I have 2 children, and I can say take pictures, lots of pictures, seeing the pictures, sometimes will bring back a partial memory
Avatar m tn She said it was about 3 or 4 hours from the time I went outside until we went to bed. She has pictures from that night that show me having a fun time with everyone. She said I seemed pretty normal. I do not remember anything except walking outside that night and waking up the next morning. That is when I started to have nights of sleepwalking again. Lots of nights where my wife says we have conversations in bed but I do not remember anything.
Avatar n tn average about 8 a day. During seizure, face starts twitching then sometimes my right thumb, my eyes are forced shut and my head starts turning all the way to the right, numbness in right arm and leg and two of my worst siezures lasted for more than 5 min and right side almost paralized. During my siezures I am aware of what is going on but cannot speak.I am very off balance, walk like I'm drunk. I had two cat scans, three emerg trips. one doc thinks increased intercranial pressure.
