Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Seizure is due to abnormal electrical activity in your brain. It happens when there is a focus of small electrical discharge in the brain. The seizures in humans can happen even after many years and this can depend on the cause. It is important that you consult a neurologist and get clinically examined in detail. A CT scan and electroencephalography might be required. CT scan will tell if there is any structural problem that is causing your seizure and an encephalography will rule out any persistently discharging areas in the brain that can cause future seizures. Medications must be taken regularly to control seizures even if the cause of seizure is not known. These medications will raise the brain threshold of electrical activity in your brain and prevent precipitation of seizure. Please do not do high risk activities like driving, swimming and operating heavy machinery without the recommendation of your doctors.
