I met a nurse through my TBI support group. At one point in the group I described a sensation I would get earlier in my recovery. I would just be laying on the bed or couch and my heart would start racing and I would feel my heart beating in my neck and head. The doctors said it was just anxiety and gave me lorazepam for it.
After the group, the nurse pulled me aside and said that I was probably having non-convulsive seizures. She said they should have done an EEG. Is this possible? I still feel like I get that sensation from time to time. So does this mean I am having seizures and I don't even know it? Should I be getting and EEG test? Is this something I need to look into? Thank you.
