Suggest Treatment For Epilepsy

I am due for a CT scan of brain plain today, i have had 2 episodes of epilepsy. After the 1st episode i was on medication and skipped a few tablets, thats when the second episode occured. Do you think the attack was due to me skipping my tablets. If so, how necessary is it to do this scan?

seizures can happen if you skip medicine. you already have 2 episodes of seizures. Its very necessary to get NCCT Head/ MRI Brain and EEG and also few other tests to look for the causative factor for epilepsy. And dont skip your medicine yourself in future. Its need to be taken even if you doing fasting.
