Goodday I am from South Africa. My 9 year old son fell asleep on the couch on 15 January when I went in the room, he was vomitting while he was asleep, I tried to wake but he was unresponsive. He did not answer me he woke after about 3 minutes just staring not answering me, he eventually started responding to me, and cried and said his head is very sore as well as complained about his tummy hurting. We immediately took him to our GP and he injected him for the severe headache. All was fine then. We went to see a paediatrician and he referred us to a paediatric neurologist. She said after a clinically visit she don't think my child have epilepsy but severe migraines. He occasionally struggle with headaches and severe headache but never with seizure simptoms. She did a 16 hr EEG and a MRI. MRI just stated that he have a left choroidal cyst and everything otherwise looks normal. The EEG report said that there is a abnormality present. The neurologist could not give us a clear answer that if it was now epilepsy or not. She put him on Epilim syrup 5ml 3 times per day. In May he had a follow up EEG 16hr and once again it showed that a abnormality was present. Burst of sharp and slow waves from the right temporo parietal area. The bloodtest showed that his erythrocyte red blood cell count was high since February but there was also now hyperphosphatemia noted. The dr explained nothing to me as I could not afford her follow up fees. So I asked for reports and forwarded to my Paediatrician. I really need your input regarding this. My son was when he was 7 also fell asleep on the couch and suddenly came upright we asked him what was wrong and he also was unresponsive for 3 minutes both his eyes were opened just staring to the right. We did took him to ER but his vitals was good. So the neurologist say she think it is migraines and paediatrician say its epilepsy. I am confused and really need a answer. Thank you for assisting me.
