Could These Have Been Seizures?
Sat, 02/28/2015 - 18:38About a month ago I was in the shower, when out of nowhere I felt extremely weak and light headed. Only a couple seconds later I remember vaguely falling and going unconscious( I'm not sure if I was conscious or not when I hit the ground). I woke up what I assumed was a couple minutes later on the shower floor. I was confused and it took me a minute to realize I had fallen in the shower and that's why I woke up there.
I stood up and less than twenty seconds later I was unconscious and on the floor again. I only remember becoming really light headed and weak again for a second but not falling that time. I woke up a minute later that time when someone was banging on the door, and I immediately realized I fell again.
I'm 18 and that was the first time anything like that has happened to me. I'm concerned it may have been a seizure because a close relative who has epilepsy had their first seizure when they were 18. Thanks for any input.
