HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

To determine if you are having seizure episodes, you would need to consult a neurologist and may need an EEG test done.

This is a test that looks at the electrical activity of the brain and is used in the diagnosis of seizures.

If, based on your history, examination and investigations, seizures are confirmed then you would need medication to treat them.
If you remain seizure free on the medication for a few years, then discontinuation for a trial period is always an option.

I hope this helps
