Can you discuss more on how epilepsy is diagnosed if the EEG doesn't show it, and the drugs meant for epilepsy don't work?

[@inthemiddleofnowhere3277]

I wondered about that too. I have had two tonic clonic seizures. They weren't provoked. One at 15 and the other, this year, at 16. The hospital did an EEG both times and an MRI the first time. None of them showed any signs of me having epilepsy. But I've watched another one of his videos on frontal lobe epilepsy. My seizures were exactly how he had described them. Ever since then I've been worried that I have undiagnosed epilepsy. I've made an appointment with an actual neurologist and I just hope I will get more information.

[@danielghafoor9516]

JazakAllah for your service, helpful video

[@sharonhawkins9058]

Very helpful information thank you for the information this is the exact symptoms my daughter in law is having

[@faridaomar2655]

Hello doctor. Good information about epilepsy you give . What about feeling like you got a pulse or a beat in the head . Infact on both the left and right sides of the head. Somtimes even feeling that the head is so heavy than the whole body 😢

[@karinapique3106]

I got Epilepsy from MS 1 year after my MS Diagnosis. I get grand mal seizures I used to not have an Ora before it would happen but after 19 years I can tell but after being put Zonisamide 100mg I haven't had any seizures for over 17 years. I would have a seizures up to 2 times a week. All of the Firefighters in Ambulance people would say hi to me when I was out and about but I wouldn't think I don't know them but then I would say I had so many seizures that everyone single people on the Force would have been there to help me but like I was not home upstairs Except one time when I woke up looked around and went right back to another seizure. I would never know what happened until I woke up in the hospital and then I would think again. But after I put on Zonisamide I haven't had any seizures please ask your Neurologist to see if it would help you

[@Talletc]

Aura

[@CoolbyRiles]

Thank you, I’ll have to look into that medication. I’ve been starting to get them a lot more common after my last full body seizure. My epilepsy was originally caused by getting jumped at a high school party and I’ve been battling with it ever since.

[@SrikarPurna]

Please explain difference between epilepsy and aura...

[@DrOmarDanoun]

Sure we can. Aura is a seizure but smaller and kept the awareness so it is the same thing as seizures and epilepsy

[@bakinka]

Dr Danoun do you accept out of state insurance ?

[@DrOmarDanoun]

Yes.. Call the hospital and inquire

[@bakinka]

@@DrOmarDanoun thank you

My 10 year old son has uncontrolled hand, leg and head uncontrolled movements only when sleeping at night. This happens throughout the night in intervals of 3 to 4 minutes. Whats would this be?

[@Dayasultana]

I have had 2 seizure one while being exorcising in hot weather and I passed out with a seizure. Doc told me it was a syncope but that I reacted with a seizure like activity l. They haven’t found any thing on mri or EEg. Second one same hot and very humid weather I was having lunch outside - I remember I was sweating and feeling hot I passed out. I saw the restaurant video I had a clonic seizure line first time while running. I bited my tongue both time and they were like 4 months apart. I don’t have any auras but but first seizure memory was lost not able to remember what I was doing like 30 minutes prior tje seizures. In emergency room all the time all tests again came back negative. I did has a little bit of arrhythmia last time. The cardiologist sent me to do a tilt test came and it back positive they diagnosed me with vasovalgal syndrome, but I’m still concern my syncope are hard and strong to me looks like a combination of syncope and PNES because it has been always during stress and anxiety related to decision making

[@Dayasultana]

I have been watching all of your videos GOd bless you they are so good and informative. Too bad your hospital doesn’t take my insurance, but I can pay out of pocket of possible I just want like your opinion

[@HairGlitter]

Thanks for the video. If my body locks up and seizes while using fine motor functions (Ex. during assembly of a model kit or drawing) any idea what that would be?

[@mercymburu-rc9iu]

Hi do. My daughter, asphyxla during birth, she will turn 12yrs in May this yr. She has been having convulsion, which medicine should I give her. For this convulsion to stop. Thanks as I help me

[@MetroMetro-zs8ks]

😢 idk why i developed epilepsy, yes it was caught on eeg "slow waves" and yes mine are triggered by music or lights rarely... but even with medicine I still have seizures and sometimes nothing provokes my seizures. I have mostly focal seizures but did have one clonic tonic and a few absence seizures just damn, why all of a sudden? Nearly NOONE in my family has it, sure it started after car accident but my accident didn't physically hurt my neck or head area

[@onghdao9391]

Hello Dr Danoun, would you kindly advise if this a seizure or ellipse? if a 5 years old girl paralyzed on the left of her body since 5 days old, can only say 5-6 simple words like mom and dad...her symptoms are shaking and screaming during sleep. Thank you!

[@DrOmarDanoun]

They are the same as we explained in the video

[@nadaghazawy7068]

Can a cerebellum dysfunction cause seizures?

[@abbiraimran6059]

Assalam o Alikum. My child is 3 years old. She’s falling down on the floor about a week ago. She has a one vomting episode after this. Now when ever she sleeep i felt fits in sleeping

[@JasonLavake-ou6nz]

Is celestial and epilepsy the same?

[@JA-gp7ce]

Hi Dr., I’ve just discovered your channel and I’m so grateful for it! Could you please do a video on seizures from the parietal lobe? Mine are diagnosed as coming from those lobes but I understand they are quite rare. It sucks so much not being able to find a lot of information on it. Thank you!

[@cccecider]

All the best...I'm the same...I can't believe how my life changed in an instant...Had my own company and life was fine, then boom...You can't buy your health - even if you had all the money in the world...

[@maribel5131]

My doctor diagnosed me with right temporal lobe epilepsy but is been really bad i have anxiety and depression idk what to do anymore is been really hard for me because my mind is not relax not even one day....

[@StonerLonerLi]

If I have Medicaid would that cover for my surgery??.. I almost died in a house fire last year while making breakfast due to my tonic clonic seizures, even when I take my meds (1000mg 2 in morning/ 2 at night) I still have seizures sometimes .. nothing is helping

[@ImranAli-tm3rq]

Its interesting you mentioned drug withdrawal and a bump on the head bringing about a seizure as provoked seizure...but are insinuating that abundance of emotional stress bringing about a seizure is not a provoked seizure.

[@bobbiecrawford8967]

I’ve been trying to figure out if I should of ever been put on medication to begin with. I had one seizure at 19 out of the blue. Neurologist, before testing put me on anti seizure meds. Then EEG normal, MRI appeared normal. Said it was idiopathic. 65 and still on medication.

[@ClaudineVelasco-in7ih]

Good day Doc.i just want to know what I am experiencing right now because I already experience 5 times .seizure 4x while sleeping and 1x while I am awake. I haven't visited any doctors yet.just a check up only and they advice me to take an EEG test

[@DrOmarDanoun]

Yes see a neurologist for evaluation and treatment

[@Zxouf873]

Talk about psychogenic seizures please And different types of seizures

[@DrOmarDanoun]

Of course... Under production now and will be released very soon

[@NeebeditaMishra]

Sir I need to know about my son 8 years old whether it is seziure or epilepsy or something else

[@DrOmarDanoun]

Unfortunately I only see adults 16 years and older

[@OGNateDogg1997]

So I’ve had seizures since I was 13 is that a reason why I could have seizures sometimes when I drink for a while then go a couple months without drinking

[@pastorrandy]

What can you tell me about heterotrophy?

[@DrOmarDanoun]

Probably you mean heterotropia which is a condition when cells of the brain do not align correctly leading to seizures

[@pastorrandy]

Yes, my son has that. He is on several medications that delay the seizures. One of his neurologists found the place in his brain that is constantly firing off electrical charges. It is too close to the speech center for surgery. He is 43 and the seizures started when he was 17. He also has episodes where he loses all muscle control and falls like a sack of potatoes. He doesn't totally lose consciousness but he is dazed and unaware of his surroundings for a few minutes. My wife and I are in our mid 60s and worried about what will happen to him when we're gone. I fear for him living under a bridge somewhere since he can't work. His medications are so expensive he is afraid to get off SSI for fear he won't be able to buy his medicine. We aren't sure what to do.

My daughter has 2 seizures a month around the period. The neurologist wants to treat her with epileptic drugs.

[@ashley2bell]

I also had them around my periods/time of the month. Keppra (levetiracetam) has been the best medication for me. I hope she’s okay and you both are doing well ❤

[@XTinaTamVas]

It's Tegretol for me..

[@abhishekdutta9418]

Sir please reply is it a symptoms of epilepsy ? I am waiting for your reply . Thank you sir in advance

[@abhishekdutta9418]

Sir one more thing recently I go for eeg 2 hours with sleep medication . Eeg was normal but they have notice that seizures , tremors,and saliva come out from my mouth. My parents also attend there in this room they and doctor both notice it. After the eeg technician come doctor said that I have 12 time episode of seizure. Still report are normal. So I want to know is it is a epilepsy problem? I wait for your kind reply. Thanks sir from a long distance and also thanks that you notice my words.

[@ChristinaLin73]

If a patient has a provoked seizure such as taking a medication that may cause a seizure or missing a seizure medication and it causes a seizure, then has a seizure. Has an eeg that show an abnormality that gives a patient a diagnosis of epilepsy because this is their 1st seizure. A repeat study is given 2months later when patient is on proper medication and eeg is normal do you assume patient did not have epilepsy to begin with? Or does an abnormal eeg always override the negative eeg?

[@DrOmarDanoun]

This is a specific case that needs to be up to the neurologists judgment

[@wallyandbevpaulson7097]

My seizures are triggered by sudden, loud noises as well as strobe lights. I had Lyme's Disease 30 years ago which is when these began. I live defensively, trying to avoid places I know are dangerous for me. Sometimes it's unavoidable. What do you suggest for "afterwards"?

[@DrOmarDanoun]

I can't provide medical advice online without evaluating the patient. Please discuss with your neurologist

[@jennymills5644]

Hello! I was dxd with epilepsy last year. My dad had it and I've also had TBIs. Anyhow mine seems to be triggered by cold. My auras start w a cold feeling abd eventually noise in my ears (most of the time). Is there a specific type that is sensitive to temperature changes?

[@DrOmarDanoun]
