recent seizure

I had a seizure last sunday I was sleeping, and I was not on any drugs and did not drink the night before. . It was my first one. I was rushed to the ER, I had a cat scan and an MRI- both came back normal. I had an EEG and it came back abnormal. I met with a neurologist today, and she has no explanation for me, and wants me to get another EEG done.... does anyone have any ideas on what might have caused me to have a seizure?

If that was the first seizure you ever had it would be extremely difficult to say why you had it. Especially if all the test that they did at the hospital came back negative. You are just going to have to work with your doctor and see what happens.  I wish you luck

My brother-in-law gets most of his seizures while he is sleeping.  As far as I know it is just the way that your seizures come.  You just have to take regular anti-seizure drugs to take care of it.  As I am not a doctor please don't take my advice instead of seeing a doctor.  Please feel free to come back and update us.
