Having seizures there just no quite sure why yet.

Turns out i have congenital hypoplasia of the right side of my brain (didn't even know it was a thing) and parts of it are randomly going to sleep due to lack of blood. Trust me its no fun and gets weird really quick but they suspected it been causing seizures and had me do a eeg. Now i often have tremors in the left arm and upper left side so that wasn't changed by the testing and i don't think the lights made any difference or i just don't remember lol One thing i did find quite odd was the deep breathing is was surprisingly difficult to do it and i am not even sure i got it done correct. One would think it would be dead simple to do something like breathing. Anyone else run into this issue when getting the eeg done. On a side note judging by the sound of the machine i think mine may have looked more like the readings from a seismograph lol
