Hit head gently and more seizures since
Fri, 10/14/2016 - 09:22A little background for me is that I'm a 23 year old girl (I don't feel like I'm a lady yet) who has been diagnosed with epilepsy. It was generalized with only absence and partials. My medicine has reduced it to just partials if I have one. It's rare for me to have a seizure.
The story is I was at work, went to stand up from attempting change the soap, and hit my head on the corner on the metal sink.
Ever since I have been having more seizures. I didn't hit my head hard at all. It took me 12 hours to remember I even hit it. I only have a small bump. Will it go away on they stop their own, as soon as the bump is gone?
These seizures are lasting less than a second. I can tell I had a seizure because it feels as though I'm falling back into my body. I get upset and vulnerable feeling if I ever have a seizure, and the fact that I did throws me off.
