Hello,
I am 49 yrs. old and live alone and apparently I had a seizure a few days ago while sitting at the computer playing chess. I was unconscious for a very short time and apparently got up then fell down onto something (unknown) I just blacked out (no aura) for a possibly a minute or two and I must have fallen backwards onto my head and cut a 2 inch gash into the -back- of my head. Blood was everywhere in the apartment. However, when I woke up (disoriented) I was sitting back in the chair at the computer with blood dripping down out of my skull! How and why did I get back into the chair?? After I figured out what happened, I drove to the emergency room where they sewed me up. CT-scan negative, blood work negative, urine negative. The same thing happened about a week prior while sitting at the computer playing chess, but this time I must have landed on my face (left side) because I had a bad black left eye. The last time though when I woke up I was not at the computer desk ... I somehow made my way (unconscious?) to my bed where I woke up. Three days later my EEG was negative. Can people walk around unconscious while having a seizure? I've been sick with a sinus infection and had a Herpes Simplex infection in my cornea about 2 months ago. The emergency room doctor said the cause of the last seizure was unknown and reported me to the Dept. of Motor Vehicles. I'm now on Neurontin and Klonopin, but I don't know if I have Epilepsy or not. (I've been very stressed out recently) I have another EEG set for Wednesday. (I have a neurologist) Thank you for reading and any advise, as this is all new to me. -Roy |
