Could daughter be having seizures

[srpalm01]

Yesterday my daughter made a loud repititive noise for about 10 secs she then took in a deep breath and feel to the ground. He entire body stiffened up and her eyes went blank. She was not breathing for about 10-15 secs. When she came to she fell into a deep sleep for 15-20 mins.  Could this have been a sz?

The seizures that I witnessed my hasband having started with a very strange screeching noise.  The symptoms you describe sound very much like a seizure.  My husband did the same thing as far as stiffening but he did have the convulsion part of it with jerking movements.  He then fell into a deep sleep.  I would say you should definitely get her to a doctor.  The can do an EEG and get her on medication if that is the case.  Its much better to get on it right away in case it happens at a time when she is alone or out on the street etc.  Good luck to you and your daughter.  I must say that my husband has been fine since he is on the medication.

I'm not a doctor but its sounds almost like Nonepileptic Seizures. I was reading that there can be screaming. But like I said I don't know and im not a doctor. I would keep an eye on her, if it happens again go see a doctor. Or it might be a good idea to go and see one anyway. Hope this helps.
