My first seizure
Thu, 08/08/2019 - 03:58Topic: New to Epilepsy.com
I had my first seizure ever 4 days ago. I just woke up in the ambulance without any recollection. Last thing I remember was cleaning. Blood work came out good and CT Scan came out “Crystal Clear” but I’m still scared. Idk I just feel scared. I woke up around 3 am to go to the bathroom and I felt nauseous and lightheaded. Is it normal??? I just hope this would be my last and only seizure...
