Thank You for your help. Regarding the dizziness, I am anemic and I used to take iron pills but not anymore.
I have another question:
The people that have seizures can have a normal and healthy baby but what are the chances of not having a healthy baby? AND
If I do have a baby in the future, can he/she also have seizures(does this condition pass down to my children)??
Most people with epilepsy or seizure disorders can lead normal lives. While this condition cannot be cured at present, for some people it does eventually go away. For many people with epilepsy, it is difficult to drive and participate in some recreational activities. Most women with epilepsy can become pregnant and can have a normal and healthy baby. However, it is important that regular follow-up with the attending physician and intake of medications ( Keppra ) is done. It is also important to know that two life-threatening conditions: status epilepticus and sudden unexplained death are risks for this condition. Support groups in your school, locality and even here in the net may greatly help. Take care always.
Dizziness may be caused by insufficient oxygen in the brain which may be attributed to a variety of issues. This includes ear infections, vertigo, error of refraction, orthostatic hypotension, hypoglycemia, and underlying conditions like anemia. If it recurs, it is best that you have this checked by your doctor for proper evaluation. Headaches associated with tests and homework may be due to primary headaches such as tension headache. Rest and pain medications may help provide relief.
How are you? Keppra or levetiracetam is indicated for seizure and sometimes used to treat neuropathic pain. The exact mechanism in treating epilepsy is actually unknown but the drug is known to bind to a synaptic vesicle protein which is believed to impede nerve conduction across synapses. Diagnostic tests such as EEG may be normal especially if it was done after the seizure episode. It is important that you take your medications regularly and as prescribed. Missing a dose may lead to breakthrough seizures and increases the chance of getting an attack. Having an an attack does not necessarily mean you also have a brain tumor.Imaging studies such as Ct scan will help rule this out. Take care and best regards.
