Does Donating Plasma Ends Up In Having Seizures?
Is there any possible way you can end up having seizures/convulsions a day after donating plasma . I went into a seizure a few days ago with no history of seizures. The only thing new i had done in my daily routine was donate plasma over the prior two weeks to the seizure. The hospital i was taken to could not find anything wrong after i had the seizure. So i m trying to find any possible trigger that might have caused this to happen that general tests at a hospital might miss.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic
donating blood 2 weeks back will not cause seizures
first seizure usually does not require any investigations
if it is repeated again you need to be investigated thoroughly
investigations like EEG, and CT scan are needed to know the etiology
better consult a physician if you have another seizure
i shall be happy to answer any more queries
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Take care
