Dear Teresa,
I am 59 and received 3 phase electric shock accidentally, up until then I was in perfect health. I experienced my first seizure 2 weeks after the shock, my wife woke up at 5 am to find me rigid beside her and barely breathing. She carried out CPR and mouth to mouth. As this was my first seizure meds were not prescribed. Meds were only prescribed after 2nd seizure; levetiracetam 500mg, escitalopram tea 10 mg.
After electric shock and prior to my first seizure I experienced blurred vision and some memory loss.
The law in Ireland is 1 year seizure free before driving again.
I really appreciate your response and support. Kind regards, Gerard.
