Welcome to the site! Glad to hear your son has been a doctor. Lots of different things can cause the symptoms so getting the work-up is the first step. Sometimes more EEG testing is needed or other types of tests, to tell if seizures or other causes.Keep asking questions till you get the answers you need! Take care, Epilepsy.com Resource Specialist
