Had first seizure
Fri, 07/22/2016 - 05:59Topic: New to Epilepsy.com
Hello..
My name is Ashish and I am from India.
10 days ago, I was admitted in hospital to treat Dengue.
I was in hospital for 3 days. After discharge, I was recovering well but i hardly took any rest.
4 days ago, I went to trek where I had a seizure which lasted for 5-7 min.
I recovered very immidietly from seizure and walked for around 2-3 km after seizure.
There was no headache, pain or i wasn't tired at all...
Our family doc. said it was due to weakness of Dengue and I also read on internet that sometimes seizures are common in recovery phase of dengue.
Still I am very worried about it. I have no history of seizures in my life. This was very first.
Whenever I think about it, I get anxious.
My question is, Was it totally because of Dengue weakness??
Do i need to go for EEG??
Please reply..
Thank you.
