More info about it. ( Epilepsy )
Tue, 08/09/2011 - 03:35Hello. My brother ( 15 years old ) had what I think it was a seizure. That was around 2 months ago. 2 weeks ago he had another one. Now, I wasn't sure how the second one started, we were all sleeping, so I heard noises and woke up, my brother was on the ground struggling.
Both times this had happened were during his sleep. He has no complaints whatsoever when he's awake.
I'm not sure what type of epilepsy he had ( I wish someone could please give me more info about it and why it happens ), so the first time we freaked out so bad. The second time we didn't knew, I woke up when he was "finished" having it.
I'm really worried about my brother. He does not take medication, it just started happening ( As far as we know ) 2 months ago, he's a normal kid. Sleeps well, no stress. I'm very worried every night now that it could happen again at any time.
Thanks again,
Mike.

Mike, the only way to know what he is goimng through is to see a neurologist and have him tested.
