My daughter had a focal seizure, head area only. She is 19, fit in the army. She just flew to Kentucky. Arrived late and got only a little sleep. She did not eat breakfast. She climbed a 27 ft rope, no gloves and slid down 20 ft. burning her palms. While sitting in a chair she had her seizure. She remembers the whole incident. She was diagnosed by the military docs as seizure. Her BP and pulse were normal. We do not have the blood work results yet. They did an MRI. Any suggestions on why the seizure?
My name is Dr Ehsan Ullah & I have gone through your query.
When the brain electrical activity is disturbed then seizures occurs..it might be due to brain eletrical activity interruption..it can arise from very small age or congenital...
As mentioned of focal fits,i would recommend to get an fresh Electro-encephalogram and then start with tab.carbamazapine 200 mg TDS...
Follow up visits should be on regular basis to neurologists. seizures can be controlled and she can hav good life ahead.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
