Seizures?

Hiya gang.  I am posting in hopes of finding someone out there that knows anything about seizures. I had a random seizure at the hospital in front of my plastic surgeon - out of nowhere - and we're trying to figure out WHAT is going on. Anybody?

Your post caught my interest and I looked at a medical site and found this at web md, infections and low blood sugar could trigger seizures in people without a history of seizures. Maybe that could be checked out to see if either were what caused yours.  I hope this was an isolated incident and you don't have any further problems. All the best Sher

Thanks, I immediately did blame this episode on hypoglycemia... just waiting to see what the docs have to say.... They Take So Long!

Hi MM,

I don't have anything in the way of an answer, but I wanted to say I am so happy you are feeling better! I was worried after your Mom posted. I hope you get some answers soon! You are one of my faves!

Thank you!  :D

Dear MM, I would assume since you were at a private drs office, they called 911 and a emergancy squad came out to get you. Is that correct? Did anyone take your blood sugar at that time? Most paramedics are trained if anyone has a loss of consciousness, they were immed take a blood sugar as one of thier first checks. I wonder if you got all sweaty? Do you remember any aura or anything fixing to happen?  And if its your blood sugar, I am sure no doctor will poo poo it off and assume its that til they proof to themselves and you that there was nothing else but that.  But as a ER nurse, my first reaction...is were you getting woozy and fading right before this happened?  I hope you get to the bottom of this soon. It can be so distressing. What tests are they putting you thru now? EEG?  Hugs,  Sandy

Sandy, I had no warning signs or symptoms of this event.  I was standing in front of a surgeon, in his hospital office, chatting away, when I was told that I turned around, told my husband that I "needed sugar," and that I was "sorry," for being out of it.  I then dropped into a seizure, the nurse that came in a little while ago called it "clonic?"  I have zero memory of any of it.  My husband says they called a code, and paramedics took me across the street to the ER in the same hospital, and by the time my sugar was checked, it was normal.  I don't know how long that was. I'm in a video EEG right now - have been for 30+ hours.  Nothing is happening.  I had a low this morning after eating breakfast, but it didn't trigger anything like I thought it might.

Dont have any ideas for you, but hope you are feeling better and that it doesnt happen again! Let us know what they find out. hugs, Helen

Thank you, Helen!
