dizzy spells then seizure
well i'm 25 years old i have been living with dizzy spells for about 9 years. when i was 15, i was in a serious car accident, and was thrown out of the car, everything seem to be fine but the doctors had to staple my leg up. then about 6 months to a year later, i started getting very dizzy, pouring sweat, and my heart felt like it was about to jump out of my chest then i sat down and closed my eyes for a min and iwas on the floor, then about 2 years later i had another spell at work and blacked out same syptoms and my mom has diabetes so she had my blood sugar to make it too high or low but it was fine, but then i got pregnant with my daughter and didnt have one til about a couple months after she was born. about a year or two i had had a spell and had a seizure my husband had to get head out of the window which it went through, and took me to the hospital, i had spells in the shower and passed out, he says when i have one, he says that i look like i'm having a stroke and also had urinated on myself a couple of times. my doctor has me on dilatin and they done everything from heart monitors to echoes and blood test after blood test ct scans and they find anything the spells just come when it wants to. and i really want to know something if i have a spell on the road and be serious. even one doctor thinks i could have ptsd and people said i having panic attacks i just want the truth. thank you
My seizures begin with a dizzy spell. I don't have much of a warning though, about 2 seconds of dizziness, and then I wake up on the floor.
However, my seizures are partial complex seizures:I lose total consciousness, and seize only on one side of my body. I also lose bladder/bowel control. I would have just assumed I had passed out, I have no memory of the seizures, but they were witnessed.
My specific type of seizures were determined by an EEG at my neurologist's office. Have you had an EEG? This can determine where in your brain the neurons are over-firing, even if you aren't actively having a seizure. In some though, you must be having a seizure for the EEG to capture, depends on the person and type of seizure.
Check with your neuro on the EEG. It is the definitive test for assessing whether or not you demonstrate seizure activity.
Best of luck to you.
