Should i make a doc appt if it happens again or should i go to the ER?!
Question: Should i make a doc appt if it happens again or should i go to the ER!?
last night around four in the morning (i was completely awake at this time - unfortunately) i was lying on my side ad i started convulsing/twitching/spasming and my whole body was lifting and convulsing!. this died down after about an hour and quietened slowly into a few tics and spasms mainly in my legs!.
I think it may just be stress i was fully aware and fully present and it didnt hurt as such!.
should i go and see my gp (which i am next friday anyway) or should i go to the ER if it happens again
any ideas what it could be!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
Could be stress or anxiety!. YES go to the ER if it happens again!. My mom had such a bad anxiety attack one time that it mimicked a stroke!. It effected her speech, vision and movement!. After they gave her anti- anxiety meds she was fine
Stress messes with the body like you wouldn't believe!.

I was on anti-convulsants due to seizures brought on by heat
and was actually pronounced clinically dead twice,
It doesn't sound like epilepsy because you were fully aware of your surrounding's and epileptic's are NOTWww@Answer-Health@Com

I'm not a doctor or anything, but what you described sounded like a seizure to me!. I know this sounds stupid but my cat is epileptic and she has seizures every once in a while and she convulses/twitches/ spasms when she has them!. She is usually dazed after wards and depending on how powerful or long the seizure was determines how long she stays dazed!. I've witnessed other seizures and if you continue having these symptoms I advise you to write down the time, date, and what happened, and anything else you remember leading up to it, after and during!. Then I would go to you regular doctor and speak with them!. Then again I could be way off and it could just be stress!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You really should make an appointment to see your doctor as soon as possible!. Forget the next Friday appointment!. Make an urgent one for today!. I wouldn't like to guess what caused it, but I do know that if it happened while you were out, or driving, you could put yourself and possibly others in serious danger!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Last night you got advice from RN's and people who had similar symptoms and many of them advised you to go to the ER and get a CAT scan!. Now you are sitting here asking the same question again!. May I suggest a psych consult when you get to the ER as well!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
My labradoor has this type of seizure, it's a type of epilepsy!. He's not medicated though he's only had 3 and he's 5 now!. Sounds like you need medication!. Sorry to compare you to my dog! I'd get seen today just to be sure, get on that phone now young lady or go to A and E!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
