seizures and heart rhythm

[tigeress77]

Hi

I had a 40 min complex partial on the 7th july (rescue meds given incl phenytoin IV)
and 8th I was given fluids as bld pressure was low,
then a 40 min absence on the 9th july. (rescue meds given)
the next day I was very dizzy and had a fall.  the next day I had a vacant feeling and not with it this went after a while but was replaced with dizzy.  I was discharged even though of this as local neuro was away for 10 days.  no medication changed.

since then I have kept feeling dizzy sitting, standing, relaxing.  my head feels funny and on occasions my heart suddenly races and then goes to normal

its been making me feel awful and crying sometimes with my head.

can seizures affect heart rhythm and its now 10 days or more after the event?

thanks for your reply.  it was apparently one but I had a complex partial at doctors and had GCS 9/15 at the hospital then got rushed to resus after a bit as wasn't responding and I think all in all it was 40 min,  had to be intubated.  
the 2nd one was an absence on different day.  

Its all been reported back to neuro and ive been to gp re all the dizziness who has just gave me some tablets for dizziness.

But since then its all been getting worse the dizziness, sudden heart racing then back to normal, weird head.  keep blacking out.

I ended up in hospital again last week ashad chest pain and pain had gone but arm pain still there.  they gave me GTN spray which relieved it.  but the D DImer blood test for clots came back positive.  they did ct of lung and scanned leg and sent me home.  

Still nowhere.  symptoms of dizziness etc still there.  and its all after these prolongeds seizures etc.

Were you just told it was one seizure or SEVERAL! To me it sounds as if you had Status Epilepticus cos one general seizure lasts about 3 mins not 40 mins. Im just going by what I had a few years ago because I had 23 seizures continuously. The Medical Staff thought I was dead. Ive also had it twice more but not so many. If I was you I would see yr GP and insist on seeing a Neurologist at yr nearest hospital and explain whats happened, and insist on how to help your situation. If you don't tell them they will just ignore you so don't sit there SUFFERING IN Silence love, otherwise it could lead onto other problems like depression and isolation. Good luck , I feel for you and don't want o see you suffer in silence like ive had to do most of my life, take care!X
