First seizure age 48
Mon, 10/03/2016 - 13:51Topic: Women With Epilepsy
Hi hope someone may be able to help. Out of the blue the other day I passed out, I went to hospital and have been told it's probably a focal seizure. I will be seeing a neurologist later this week. I am due to go on a long haul flight in a weeks time and are considering cancelling the trip, it has shaken me up plus I have felt quite ill since it happened. I am otherwise very fit & healthy other than a bad neck injury which happened the day before my seizure... wondering as well if this had anything to do with it. I still feel nauseous but improving slowly.
