Had a fits/seizure

2021-06-22 17:23:20
Today I had a stressful day. Emotionally I was drained. I was trying to control all the confusions in mind. Suddenly felt chest pain, felt like I cant breath. Before I could hold something I fell down. My body was shaking. I had a seizure. I dont completely remember what happened. I know I was on call. Person who attended me said I was shaking. I am still feeling weak, but am ok. He said it was a fits. But this happened to me first time. I tried reaching my regular doctor, it shows offline. Please suggest should I talk to psychiatrist or other specialist. All this happened 4 hrs ago. Please suggest

Firstly we have to rule out was it a true seizure. Sometimes a very stressful event may leads to conversion episode like pseudo seizure , which is a part of defense mechanism to reduce anxiety. If it's recurring, there's a possibility of conversion disorder. A Psychiatrist can help you definitely.
