Hi Mindy,

Lisa and Darlene gave you some very good information. The Dr. may order bright flashing strobe lights along with the fast breathing also, the reason why the flash the lights is to see if a person is photosensitive which means certain colors of light may trigger a sz.
I will let you know that the e.e.g. will read 8 different areas of your brain and hopefully it will be able to pinpoint what area of your brain is triggering the possible sz.
I usually have 24-28 electrodes put all over my head and the electrical cream that they use to put the electrodes on your head can make your skin itch like crazy at times. Take my word when you get home you will want to wash your hair really good and you will feel a lot better. I wish you the best of luck and May God Bless You!

Sue
