Is Mri Necessary After Having Seizure?

I had a sezuire the 2nd of January. I started getting dizzy spells again the 9th of july and they haven't gone away yet. I've lost my appitite and haven't been able to sleep. These were all symptoms post-seziure. I was wondering if I should go back to the doctor and get a MRI. The night of my seziure the doctors gave me an EKG, a Cat Scan, as well as a blood test. My friends and family are getting worried, the doctors never told me why I had my seziure and I wanted to know if it would be best to get an MRI??

you have seizure. there are many causes for that. and may be idiopathic. You h mentioned that you have gone through CAT SCAN and EKG. but kindly mentioned the interpretation of that reports. if you cant find any cause till now then you should go for MRI. there is no harm in that. you may have some space occupying lesion in your brain or may be idiopathic. but need to confirm once. consult your doctor and go for MRI accordingly.
