Can't diagnose seizures, please help
Fri, 01/20/2017 - 13:10My grandmother started experiencing seizures 3 summers ago. She's never had them in her life and all of a sudden started having them. She only has them at night. We believe she has one when her blood oxygen level falls too low while sleeping. She's completely disoriented afterwards, sometimes for an entire day.
She's had every kind of test ran. Sleeping tests, blood tests, CAT scans, bone density tests.. you name it. Out of the 10+ doctors she's been to, not one of them has had an answer. We live in Boulder City, Nevada.
Does anyone have any ideas, or can someone please point us in the direction of a specialist?
