seizures anyone??

HELP anyone. I am a healthcare professional- and  week ago our office bought office max compressed gas duster. I used 2 cans to clean the keyboards and even the acrylic dust from the walls in semi confined patient operatories. It took me maybe 5 minutes. What happened next was I "awoke" to people standing over me who I did not recognize including 2 paramedics asking me if I knew I hd just had a seizure. I did not know what was happening, I couldn't tell anyone my name, date of birth, where I lived, if I had children. I knew nothing!! Off I went to the hospital. Unfortunately at that point in time, no one had connected the dusters to my seizure, I had thrown the cans away in the rooms that I emptied them in.I was coming back down a long hallway to retrieve another can is what a coworker put together at a later date. Has anyone had or known of anyone that had a grand mal clonic/tonic type seizure from the use of this product. Any information will help, or webpages or forums. I never had anything like this happen in my 48 years,no family history and all tests and labs are completely normal. someone,anyone....please help.

I sent you the MSDS sheet, easy to find on line.  Healthcare workers know what that is.  You get training in this stuff every year.  

It says the fumes can cause dizziness and suffocation and it should not be used in a closed area.

I'm sorry to hear about what happened. I don't know anything about what was in the can, but I believe that some of those things are dangerous to inhale.
As well, we in Canada have a poison control line to call for information. Maybe you have one as well.
I would also call the manufacturer number, which should be on the can, as well as get the list of ingredients and inform your doctor/and or pharmacist.
Hope you get some answers.
