Suggest Treatment For Frequent Seizure Episodes Which Causes The Patient To Become Emotional

Hi, what can cause seizures in about every 5 minutes? while seizing he can sometimes move his hands softly but sometimes he throws them around. he lifts up his chest, moves his head and hands. he cried. got emotional. (he is far from his family and that s what he was nervous about). the patient is about 20. he had seizures before. and it lasted about 2 or 3 minutes. also the patient says that sometimes he can t feel his legs or feet (not sure) after seizures he is perfectly conscious.

Welcome to Health care Magic. Thank you for posting your query.
I can understand your concern.

You see usually a in typical generalised seizure episode a person usually loses his consciousness and usually cannot recall what happended to him over that period of time..
there may also be associated spontaneos passge of urine/stool, or a tongue bite.usually the person is dazed after the episode.

Considering our patient being very young,away from home,nervous and emotionally labile a case of conversion disorder/pseudo seizure cannot b ruled out.

Get an EEG and a MRI brain done to rule out any brain pathology.

I would suggest you to report to a clinician if the patient has symptoms like these again. Your doctor will be able to correlate clinically.
Post any other question. We will be happy to help.
Have a nice day. Regards.
