Seizures

[vfr400boy 3,648]

Yesterday while on my 3 day first aid training course I had a seizure! ( it happened in the [BANNED TEXT] place St. John’s ) 

iv never had one before am 34 I can’t remember anything about it just been in ambulance on way to hospital, I feel ok now just a saw head and jaw think my head it concrete and I was grinning my teeth so that explains the jaw , just wondering if any one else has suffered from one? Am not allowed to drive until iv had further tests !

glad you ok mate, dont know enough about them , is it not getting blood quick enough to the brain or somthing like that .? But either way  you got to see your doctor about it, as regards if you drive a car, because if it happens agan  you could kill your self or sombody else  deff, get it checked right away, you prob end up with some tabs , or stop driving till it sorted  mate .

Not a bad place to take a fit.( first aid course) Best of luck with tests. Sometimes the worrying is more stressful than the underlying problem. Hope all goes well.

Ta lads just worried about my license, me wife is pregnant and due in 6 weeks so may need to drive her to hospital 

and not sure if my boss will keep me on if I can’t drive use chainsaw tractor etc

I know it's easy to say but, relax mate - you don't know what it was yet.

 

Everything from low blood sugar to core body temperature can cause a fit - let the doctors do their work.

 ......... I'll have a tenner on it being a freak event that won't happen again

 

 

 

Ps, good luck & atb with your new little'un.

Try not to  worry to much as said, I know thats easy to say but if you work yourself up worrying will only make thing worse. All the best mate and good luck.

Cheers Arry

Mate this happens to me around the same age, about 4-5 years ago. I had Dr's telling me I needed a pacemaker, sugar problems, circulatory issues, possible brain tumor etc ad infinitum. Man I was fully blacking out and shaking like a shitting dog on a regular basis, for about 2 months. In the metro, at work, in a bar. It was driving me nuts. No shit, I would come round with loads of people staring at me and being all British (stiff upper lip old boy an all that) I found it highly embarrassing. After 5-6 months it settled down, I started to notice the signs and fight the fuuck out of it, suddenly the attacks stopped.  I had the feeling, fight it and it wouldn't happen. Nowadays I rarely feel it.

Never got an answer as to rhyme or reason.

So don't worry.... I'm still here 4-5 years later
