Was just rear ended and had a mild seizure, not sure what to do

Mon, 10/05/2015 - 09:36

I was just rear ended on my way to work.  I am pretty sure I had a seizure immediately after the impact.  I hate going to the dr. I do have anxiety so I reach out because I have a hard time knowing when I'm just anxious or when I need to go to the dr.  I have a head ache and still some tingling on the left side of my face.  I have only been having seizures for the past past year (focal and absent)  so I am new to all of this.  I am supose to call my dr for every little thing, or do things like this just pass.  The incident itself was very mild, no damage was even done to my car.
