Eyes roll back, jerking the body, arms moving back and forth rapidly, headaches, drowsy after this. Is it seizure ?

Hello

Thanks for the query

From the description of the events it looks to me like she is suffering from seizures. During the seizures depending on the area of the brain involved consciousness can be impaired or normal. If normal can remember most of the events occurring at the time of seizures. Post seizure state also called as post-ictal period, symptoms like headache, vomiting, drowsiness and rarely fever can be seen.

So I personally request you to see a Neurologist as early as possible for detailed evaluation and initiation of medicines to control seizures. She may have to undergo investigations like blood tests, CT/MRI of the brain and EEG to know the cause and type of seizure.

I thank you again for submitting your question. I hope you find my response to be both helpful and adequate. If you have any additional concerns regarding your question I would be happy to address them.

Sincerely,

Dr Shiva Kumar R
