Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Seizures are caused due to electric disturbances in the brain which trigger them. Seizures should investigated by doing EEG and brain scan (CT scan or MRI scan) and doing complete neurological examination. Please consult your doctor who can refer you for the above investigations and then get examined by a neurologist. A detailed history regarding the seizures is essential. Please have a close family member or friend around you at all times. You should avoid high risk activities like swimming, driving and operating machinery.

Hope this helps
