Seizures

Posted by lmojackson @lmojackson, Aug 21 8:49pm

In all my 45 years, never had 1 seizure. Last year I had 3 seizures between 3-4 months apart through the year!!

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Aging Well Support Group.

Do you have a question? I have several:
a. How do you know you had seizures?
b. Have you consulted a health professional about this?
c. What did that person say, and what did he/she recommend or prescribe if he/she agreed that you have been having seizures?
d. Your statement suggests that this year, so far, you have had no seizures....?
e. Have you had a recent head injury, or a concussion some time ago, any time in the past?
f. Were you under care, or were you taking any supplements, or a prescription, for a time just prior, or during, the period when you had the seizures?
g. Can you recall traveling prior to the seizures? Did you get ill?
h. Do you get auras, or have you ever had migraines?

Consulted multiple doctors in neurology, specialists, pyschiatrists..... all feel this to be based on panic attacks that elevated blood pressure, body temperature, anxiety and lead to over exhaustion of the body. No concussions. No travel prior to the seizures..... blood pressure was already high yet controlled with medication. Now controlling the seizures with medication since last one Thanksgiving of 23. Very scary! Life altering and promotes more fear and anxiety and even depression for the most happy and optimistic beings!!!

Imojackson, sure sympathize. Had first seizure at age 71. Extreme anxiety and stress occurred couple months before and that was the only life change.
