New to seizures

Wed, 05/17/2017 - 13:52
Hi. On the 24th April I had my first tonic colonic seizure. Whilst in hospital my bloods and ct scan all came back clear. I have since had an mri scan and discussed the results and my history with a specialist. My mri scan results were also clear. I explained how I felt just before my seizure and that I've had this feeling before for many years but never had a seizure (apart from last month) The doctor said it maybe my blood pressure but this was fine at hospital and always has been, or, it could be epilepsy. The doctor is now referring me for an ecg scan as he may think the funny turns I've had in the past could have been small seizures (focal) Has anyone else had anything similar? Or have any advice?
