No the EEG just last for about 45 minutes or so!. Unless you are sick and need to be hospitalized then they will keep you until your results come back!. If you are not sick and do not need to be hospital its most likely that your dr will have you make an appt to come back to his office in a few days or a week so that he can give you the results!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
