Hello. 10 years ago i've been diagnosed with panic disorder. I'm on sertraline for almost 10 years. 8 years ago i was examined with brain CT scan. It showed that everything is fine.
I did EEG three times, because of myoclonic jerks and muscle twitches. It always showed abnormal theta waves. The latest examination (after sleep deprivation) also showed abnormal theta waves, this time accompanied with paroxysmal activity. I was also given an urgent referral to the neurologist. I occasionally get some horrible convulsions, but i've never lost my consciousness.
Is there a point to do CT scan again? Is it possible that i developed brain tumor since last CT scan (8 years ago)? Or it could be epilepsy, maybe? I'm 26 years old now. I have not suffered from any brain trauma. Should i be scared? I am trying not to panic, but that "urgent referral" to the neurologist sounds really disturbing...
