Did I have a seizure or was it just severe dizziness?!
Question: Did I have a seizure or was it just severe dizziness!?
I visited a science park with my family at the weekend!. One of the exhibits was a special chair - you sat down, spun yourself round a few times, then bent and straightened your legs to change your speed!. The first time I did it, I was totally fine, just a bit dizzy from spinning!. However, my uncle then decided it would be funny to spin me as fast as he could!. He spun me for several minutes and I think I lost consciousness!. Luckily, my cousin videoed it as I have no memory of it!. I slumped down in the chair and then when someone realised and jumped in to stop the chair my back arched, I went rigid and my eyes rolled back into my head!. This lasted for about 30 seconds before I came round!. I was very disorientated and couldn't walk or even sit up!. Was it just dizziness or should I be worried!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
This sounds much like a seizure!. My mother is unable to go on any fair rides as she will have seizures like this!. If you went unconscious and don't remember things that happened then I'd say you have a 95% chance of a seizure!.
Rest assured however, this doesn't definatly mean you are epileptic!. Sometimes people have seizures for other reasons, such as medications, illnesses etc!. Your best bet is to see a doctor, they will be able to scan your head and give you more detailed information!.
