Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I can understand your dilemma without a clear cut diagnosis and conflicting neurological opinions from experts.
However, I would not label you as an epileptic based on a single episode of
seizure. To be labeled as an epileptic, one must have two or more seizures. Also, I would not treat you with anti-epileptic medications, unless I am convinced that you have a high chance of seizure recurrence.
Abnormal EEGs can occur in upto 5% of normal population too.
Please get back if you require any additional information.
Best wishes,
