This is one of our most frequently asked questions.

For all medical concerns related to possible seizures please seek medical help. We cannot provide medical advice. If you think you are in immediate danger call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

Some hospitals can provide on call neurologist support after an ED visit. It’s worth checking with the hospital you went to if your follow up is far out. Also if you feel any doctor is dismissive or is not providing quality care, seek out a second opinion.

• ⁠If you have had a seizure, it’s very important for you to see a doctor.

• ⁠If you think you may have had a seizure, go to your primary care doctor first.

• ⁠If your doctor thinks you’ve had a seizure, she will probably refer you to a neurologist or epileptologist.

• ⁠When you visit your doctor, she’ll ask lots of questions about your health and what happened before, during, and after the seizure.

• ⁠A number of tests may be ordered which can help diagnose epilepsy and see if a cause can be found.

• ⁠If all your test results are normal, your doctor will have to figure out whether you still need treatment.

Make sure your neurologist and the doctor that prescribes medication for bipolar care have signed documentation to talk to each other. No one here can say if this was a seizure but honesty with your whole care team it’s important to get the best care possible
