Suggest treatment for grand mal seizure
Patient: I have a terrible headache, my jaw hurts, and last week I had a grand mal seizure. My husband canceled the ambulance when I started to come out of it, the only thing I remember is him telling me as we were nearing the hospital that I had a seizure and he was taking me, so I freaked out and didn't want to go. My head right above my ears hurt so bad + migraine that starts at the base of the back of my head. I had one seizure as an infant, now I'm 32. I used to take warfarin but haven't for 3 years. I also had a full hysterectomy in April 2011 so I take Estradiol. Should I go to the emergency room because I didn't after the seizure and days later my head is killing me? Or should I wait? Also, I do not drink alcohol and haven't for nearly 5 years. Doctor: HIThank for asking to HCMI really appreciate your concern and I could say that the seizure that you had might not be the grand mal seizure because if this this was the grandma seizure then one need to be on medicine for life, but I think it is nothing like that so it must be hysteria and that mimic seizures, you have not mentioned for what you are on Warfarin, take care and have a nice day.
