Hi all ive been having seizures on and off past 12 years.i'm 35.unsure of cause but seeing a neuro next week. What I want to know is do I need to go to emergency if I have a seizure that I lost memory of....that someone has witnessed and that I get tired, weak and feel out of it in my head afterwards? I was recently at emergency for biliary colic and when nurse found out about my latest big one she was surprised I didnt come in So am I supposed to get checked out? I was ok just really lightheaded and tired. Thanks Fran
