How To Treat Sudden Seizure?
Today i was getting a tattoo (have previously had two) and halfway through i got really hot and sweaty, felt faint and ill and next thing i know i was surrounded by people and they said i had a seizure. I dug my fett into the floor and threw myself back and passed out in the chair. Iv been fine since it happened. Should i be concerned. They did say it happens to some people.

Hi,
What you experienced is might be related to fear or stress you gone through when having tattoo. It is common reaction in such situations, especially she needle is used.
However, to rule out other neurological problems, I suggest to do :
- EEG
- further consultation with neurologist
- blood sugar tests
- monitor the blood pressure
If everything is OK, then, it might be due to oscillation in blood pressure ( hypotension) when doing tattoo.
By the way, get screened for hep.C as it is common in people with tattoo.
