Advice from where to go now
Thu, 05/14/2015 - 06:30hi,
I suffered a grand mall seizure about 11 months ago which was believed to have been caused by stress and since I have had a few episodes where I get so dizzy and disorientated and I cant see (just like what happened before my seizure) and then have a bit of a black out, only for a few seconds but it's been getting more regular as its getting warmer and I get more work. I went to the doctor the first few times it happened and they said it was probably anxiety but I can't stop it and I really just need some advice as to what to do now or anything that will help.
My diet and sleeping pattern is healthy and I'm fit.
Many thanks for you help
What kind of doctor is the

What kind of doctor is the question. Unless they are neurologists they don't know all the kinds of seizures you could be having. You need to get your GP to refer you to a neurologist that specializes in epilepsy. The longer you go without treatment the stronger the seizures will be and they get more frequent.
