I have also had some wine consumption. are the symptoms due to the combination of the three? Is the dizziness and tingling signs of a seizure being blocked?

Neurologist,  's  Response
As per your narration it is not clear about the type of seizure. Localized symptoms to one side is usually associated with some lesion in brain. Sometimes such patients who initially were having partial seizure with secondary generalisation or generalised tonic clonic seizure may have only some minor sensory phenomenon to the corresponding side due to drug control. Rarely some patient have lesion at sensory cortex which may present with tingling in one arm or leg or half body. Alcohol usually don't present this way but it is advisable to stop it's intake as it lowers the threshold of seizure and affects drug level in blood leading to increased risk of seizure. Hope you understand and comply. Wishing for your good health.
