Hello, my niece is 30 years old and just had a seizure yesterday. Prior to the seizure she had symptoms that consist of becoming very hot and having a memory or flashback. When the episode was over she was white as a ghost and couldn t recall the flashback. This happened 5 times before the seizure. Then it happened again while in the hospital AFTER her seizure. An MRI was taken and we won t hear results until Friday, but I m so disturbed by this and wondered if you had any thoughts...Thank you!
Thanks for asking at Chat Doctor. I read your question and I understand your concern. Seizure with aura and postictal state is mostly idiopathic in nature. MRI is done to ruled out serious problems like brain tumor and others like Basal ganglia calcification in case of parathyroid problems. Other tests are also done like serum calcium, renal function tests, serum magnesium and random blood sugar. Once all the investigations turned out to be normal then she doesn't need treatment for seizures until she suffered second attack of seizure. Hope it helps best.
