seizure symptoms headaches

Hi, How are you? Are there other symptoms present? If you have episode of seizure in the past, it is best that you have this checked and evaluated by your doctor or be referred to a neurologist for proper evaluation. Diagnostic tests such as EEG and MRI may be done to help with the diagnosis. Aside from ordinary pain medications, stronger prescription medicines and complementary and alternative medicine such as biofeedback therapy and acupuncture may help. Take care and do keep us posted.

when you go to a neuo you keep a seizure diary, so a tracker would be a easy way to keep up with seizures , meds , symptoms,how long seizure lasted. and a migraine tracker . to track headaches, how long lasted,symptoms,meds,where pain is.

ve not had symptoms but know what to look out for...swelling, dizziness, headaches, high blood pressure, nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, and possible seizure..

I am not aware of any link between seizure disorders and CM but we do have members who have experienced seizure like symptoms, many suffer "drop attacks" a fainting like episode where you drop to the ground but you are fully aware but have no control over movement etc. Yes you need to see a NS, not just any NS but one who deals with CM as the major part of their practice. Surgery is not a cure, the goals of surgery are to improve quality of life by relieving symptoms.

Medications, metabolic and hormonal imbalance , nutrient and mineral deficiencies may present with seizure and headaches. Considering previous surgeries and intake of these medications, it is best to discuss this with your physician prescribers.

I don't notice headaches, no. The pulsing is not a pleasant sensation but it really doesn't hurt. It's been going on for about two years now. I have seen a couple of doctors, but not a neurologist yet. My insurance ran out a couple years ago so i couldn't afford to continue pursuing it. Also my doctor really didn't seem to take me seriously so I kind of tried to ignore it too. But they won't go away, so maybe I need to see a different doc. Thanks for your advice!

Less commonly, a headache may also be a sign that a seizure is approaching. These are called pre-ictal headaches because they occur before the seizure activity starts. Migraines not necessarily cause seizures but it shares some common features with epilepsy. Like seizures, they can be triggered by stress, fatigue, menstruation, and alcohol. Even the aura before a migraine is similar to an aura before a seizure. It is best that you have her evaluated further for proper management.

ve never had blinky incidents, but I can tell you something about headaches following seizure activity. I, too, experience headaches and fatigue after an episode. I find that taking B-Complex on a regular basis helps so much. Also, Soy Lecithin, as it helps with neurotransmitters in the brain. Because I had so many problems with meds, I prayed for the Lord to help me live without them 5 years ago, and I've been med free since. However, I have not been seizure free.

I advised him to see a doctor but he has no insurance. He thinks he had a seizure. He has been having frquent headaches. He is a very healthy young man, who has never been seriously ill before. Could this have been a seizure and why would it have come upon him so suddenly?

She has been to a neurologist who said it is tension headaches, but her primary doctor, said to find another neuro as these are not just tension headaches. She also has had an MRI and CT scan which were done when she initially got the dizziness/vertigo and they are both normal. All bloodwork is normal. They have also suggested this might be anxiety/stress. But I think it is more her worrying about being dizzy.

There are medications available which can be used on a daily basis to prevent headaches. These include antidepressants like Elavil, anti seizure medications like Topamax and Depakote to name a few. A neurologist would be able to prescribe the appropriate medications depending on the characteristics of your headache. I hope this helps. Good Luck!

The couple of pain meds they gave me didnt work or caused side effects almost as bad as headaches. Will the headaches ever go away or do i just live with them.

Basically my headaches do what they want whenever they want. I can have the symptoms with no headache or the headache without symptoms or visa versa. Im basically scared that im having seizures too. I am also on a beta-blocker (INderal) for my heart rate (sinus tachycardia) I have been very healthy all my life and now i am having a fast heart rate and possibly seizures, or just atypical migraines. I just find it hard to believe migraines can mimic seizures.

I also had headaches for 4 months and in January of this year 2012 I had a mini stroke and now I have some memory loss and I still get dizzy, headaches, and I am always tired. My eye sight also goes blurry once in a while. I have to go to neurologist on the 14th of this month (February). I hate this I wish it would get better. How are you feeling now.

In 2013 , I had a sudden headache , that lasted for about 3 days , after calling my mom and telling her about it , she suggested I go to the local ER and have them check me out . The headache was debilitating , nausea , vomitting , and dizziness . I was told I was having migraines . They gave me the typical ER treatment of pain medication , zofran and sent me home with a prescription. Fast forward a week or so , I then suddenly had a seizure.

I'm a 41 year old female. No history of headaches. Headaches started a few months ago,they are worse in the morning and always with nausea..... getting worse, pain in front like contstant pressure. Vision blurred, and double at times. Focal seizures started two weeks ago....average about 8 a day.

Do the use of these medications help with MS symptoms. If so could taking these type of meds make it more difficult to get a diagnosis.

This important and your symptoms should not be passed off or neglected as this are disturbing symptoms that demand complete medical work-up.

I have had these so long, what are the chances of this being something major like a brain tumor or cancer? I think it could just be headaches or something. I also notice it happens often after I clean my ears out. Any tips would be helpful.

After months of symptoms like posterior headaches(not severe), occasional nausea, tinnitus, a few instances of neck pain, numbness in hands, feet, and face, constant eyelid twitching, I finally had an MRI that showed mild cervical stenosis and other mild degeneration. I was referred to a NS who said the stenosis was very mild and surgery is not necessary. I already made another appointment with another NS as a backup. He also said it was very mild, but mentioned a Chiari Malformation.
