Hello Karen,

Thank you for trusting HCM.

first time fits, or seizures could be very stressful for the family, your anxiety and worry is very well understood and reasonable.

Referring your husband to a neurologist is definitely important, reason behind this attack will be identified and proper measures will be taken.

Good news are if this is the first time it happens ever this might be a one time scenario, but this should not in any case go without visiting a neurologist. stay calm and wait for your appointment. blood might be because of biting his lips or tongue during the attack.
hope this explained things for you, and wish your husband fast recovery.
