seized?
Sun, 01/08/2017 - 15:06The other day my doctor told me he thought I was having some kind of absences seizure or an arrhythmia. So I went home and did a little bit of research about epilepsy and seizures... and found out that hyperventilating can induce an absence seizure. So in a dumb attempt to prove to my self that I wasn't having seizures I did that. ( not a good plan I know I was kind of desperate for my doctor to be wrong) I then lost about 10 -15 minutes and was incredibly tired afterwards and Just slept almost the entire day. Like I had slept 8 hours the night before then slept 8 additional hours after that then slept 8 hours again that night. So in the last two day I have slept an entire 24 hours. Is it likely I had a seizure?
