A seizure at 7 could've been related to a high fever or a bad fall. It's possible and more likely it'll never effect you again. Children are more subseptible to seizures because their brain is still forming.

It's possible. You should probably talk this over with your doctor. He/she can tell you more.

yes, i have epilepsy and i know it can stp n return yrs later in adulthood ..see a neurologist

Yes! My roomate had seizures when he was only a couple days old, he was on medicine for them for the first year of his life, then they weaned him off of them. When he turned 27 he had one at work and ended up in the hospital. Now he has to take Depakote and Dylantin, or else he has them again. Be very careful! He usually only has them in his sleep, but if the amount of medicine is not correct in his system he suffers with multiple seizures in one day. There is also a heart condition which causes people to have seizures. Your brain does not get enough oxygen and the seizures trigger the body to make the heart beat faster and normally. I do not remember the name of this though. I would talk it over with your doctor. He may want to have meds on hand just in case.
