Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,
Welcome to Hcm,
I am sorry to hear about your child. The symptoms you mentioned in your child can be a medical abnormality but considering the age of your child and the description you gave, it could be something other than a seizure. Before even diagnosing what the problem is, she should be taken to a pediatrician and also a neurologist to rule out medical problems which might need a eeg and a Ct scan of brain. At your end, I would suggest you try to talk to her and fins out that something which is scaring her and what exactly your child feels is trying to kill her. A lot of talking in private with your daughter might make things clearer. Happy to clear any further doubts. Take care .
