Doctor : Do you remember any of the event that happened?
User : bo
User : no
User : sorry
Doctor : For how long were you unconsious?
Doctor : Have you had history convulsions in the past?
User : 20 sec roughly
User : never happened before
Doctor : Ok
Doctor : Its very odd to have convulsion for a brief period lasting for few seconds, unless its a focal episode.
Doctor : You will need evaluation and tests, which includes an EEG of the brain.
Doctor : You will also need evaluation of the heart, to make sure that the event was not an arrhythmia.
Doctor : I would suggest you not to take this episode lightly.
Doctor : Consider visiting the ER, as this may be an emergency.
Doctor : Have you followed what I have suggested?
Doctor : Are you there?
Doctor : Are you there?
Doctor : I have to close the window as you are not responding. Please chat with our doctors 24/7 for medical queries.
