abnormal eeg
by lilnurse, Oct 19, 2006 12:00AM
I recently had an eeg because I blacked out. The results got back and they were abnormal. I accidently opened my eyes a few times and I moved a little. I read somwhere that that can affect the test results. Would that be the thing that could make it abnormal or is that not enough to do it. Any help on the matter would be great, I don't have an appointment w/ the neurologist until next friday.

graft needle recording your functions. Just like a spasm before
a seizure. Eeg is reading your brain & was not the reason that
report was reported abnormal. Neuro needs to repeat reading
himself to see if it matches anything clinical. They try to get
you to sleep so machine can take over.
1)Neurologist said the other hospital that performed the 1st EEG, did not have the connectors attached correctly. It was as if there was sweating and they did not stick properly, which caused "articulations", and the EEG was deemed abnormal, so they did a second one.
2)During the 2nd one, the nurses did a great job hooking my Dad up, and the Neurologist came in halfway thru the EEG, observing it while in progress. He pointed out that a patient must keep their eyes closed and not move. He could see in the EEG, times when my Dad got cold.
There were a few "peaks" during the EEG, but he said it was considered normal.
I would get the EEG done again, making sure to have soft music playing in the background and to not open eyes at all.
This is just my humble opinion, and Demiguise has given you some great advice too. Good luck, dear!
It was classic, but I felt it happening before. I just felt very heavy and tired. My office has a door, so later in the day when the symtoms were really bad, I decided to turn off the lights and chill out in a comfortible chair. I have no recollection what happened, but woke up in a heep on the floor.
Again, I had not clue what was happening.
I've had two MRI's with contrast and they found nothing abnormal. The EEG did show abnormal "spikes" located on the back left portion of my head.
A month ago at work, I discovered that I could not write with my right hand. It trembled a little, but I could just not put it together. It was initially funny because how pronounced it was. I felt great and decided to get some water and walk around outside a little. By mid day I was fine, but I did have another MRI and EEG. MRI was clear, but the EEG was more pronounced that before. I am taking lamictal and tolerating it pretty well, but feel like I'm going down the drain.
Can anyone relate t this or give me any ideas what to do next?
