Should I Be Tested For Epilepsy?

2018-02-13 07:19:07
I have benign you more on the base of my brain. The other night I passed out and my husband said I was shaking. Is this signs of epilepsy? This never occurred before and when I came around I felt weak. He had to help me to the bathroom and back. I also had a head ache and felt light headed.

Hello, If you were shaking while unconscious then it may be that u had seizure. Get a MRI brain or Ct scan brain and EEG. If these two tests are normal then u can wait before starting medicine. If it is abnormal then u should start anti seizure medicine. Take care
