Please help me with my EEG report

Mon, 04/16/2018 - 19:11
I just got my first EEG results and my neuro is away for a couple of weeks so I am looking for guidance in interpreting it in the mean time. I have a history of absence seizures although it was originally diagnosed as ADD. It says it is an abnormal EEG due to shifting bitemporal slow wave activity with somewhat more predominant left temporal polymorphic 3 - 5 delta/theta activity over the right. It says sometimes it was sharply configured at times but not definitely epileptiform in morphology and it was more pronounced with hyperventilation. It concludes bitemporal slow wave activity with left hemisphere predilection suggests a behemispheric disturbance of cerebral structure / function. Can anyone tell me what this means?
