BLACKOUTS/SEIZURES. Why me? What now?

[=cJ=]

Blood hell mate. I'm damn happy to hear you're OK though.

[ynot slow]

Sometimes you want to wonder/shout why friggin me god.But my way of thinking is someone is worse off than me which helps(say it enough yeah right),but is pretty close to it.

A few in hospital ward having cardio thorasic surgery were typical,had quad bipass or new valves and having them rejected by body and more tests,some were only 50 yrs old,some 70 didn't matter.

Hey dogsnbikes,

Hope you get a simple solution and a quick fix.

[dogsnbikes]

Its all in the hands of the specialist's now one for the head and other for the back knocked off work for another 4 weeks so the shed full of bikes is getting alot of attention but everything is good I have alot to keep me busy

Well my step-bro had something similar happen to him about 1 year ago. He came home from work, had tea, sat down to watch a vid and next thing he wakes up in hospital.
According to his partner, he was fairly normal, quite tired (being a Friday), not that talkative, ate tea, video on then he started standing up, waving his arms around, thrashing, she couldn't control him, making noises but not coherent, called the ambulance then off to hospital with a couple of mates holding him down.
Seizure. No driving, not supposed to work on roof tops and with dangerous things BUT being a builder that didn't stop. On pills, 6 monthly checks, EEG normal...
Still on meds and feeling normal so, no history so what the f...?

The doc warned me that EEG may come back normal and that it could be a one off situation and never know why it happened meaning it will be meds just to make sure 6 monthly cheak ups

At least I can say all test so far have come back negitive

Yeah, it is shite that you have to go through all that to be told that tests are negative. My step-bro said he felt very tired on his way home but apart from that there was no precursur.

[dogsnbikes]

Does that include the brain scan?

sure does if he had of done the big toe it would of been positive

but on a serious note nothing abnormal was detected

[rosie631]

I had the same thing a few years ago. Kept passing out. Had every test known to man and found nothing. Lasted 2 or 3 weeks and then stopped. I put it down to stress in the end.
