Question: Doctors and Nurses Please Answer!?
I know I should see a doctor, but I knod of want an idea of what to excpect when I do see the doctor!.
For years, possibly my whole life, I have suffered from somewhat frequent convulsions!. I have no idea what triggers them, but the last one caused to me briefly accelerate toward a red light!. Thankfully, my body relaxed before I hit the car in front of me!. That kind of scared me and now has me wondering, what may be the cause of this!.
My brother also twitches/convulses briefly!. He has lupus, but I don't know if that is related!.
If you have any suggestions, please tell me!.

Answers:
If you haven't been to the doctor in a long time they will do an exam and probably take some blood!. If the doctor feels that you are indeed having seizures, I would expect that you would be referred to a neurologist for EEG testing!.
EEG testing is when they hook up some electrodes to your head and read your brain waves to see if you really are having seizures, and if so what kind!. If they are seizures, I would expect you would be started on medicine for epilepsy!.
If you have a wreck and they find out it was because you had a seizure, you could lose your drivers license!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you'll have to see a doctor, you can't get a diagnosis over the internet without a thorough physical exam!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You and your brother could both have forms of epilepsy!. It can be controlled!. Your doctor will most likely send you to a neurologist after he has done all of the blood test!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
