What Causes Weakness, Dizziness And Slurred Speech After The Seizure Attack?
YES, I have recently had 3 seizures that caused me to be hospitalized. The Dr s don t know why this is happening to me. They did an MRI of my brain and said that I have an abnormality in my brain but it s 2 1/2 months before I can get into to see a Neurosurgeon. This has all happened within the last 3 weeks. Afterwards I feel really weak all over, dizzy, and hard to open my eyes and very sluggish speech. Any thoughts about this??? Even tho after the first episode I started taking anti seizure meds I m still having the same problems 8~(

Hello,
I will suggest you to meet your general physician and share your problem of recurrent seizures, and he might add a second anti epileptic drug to avoid recurrent seizures. You must go for treatment of your primary pathology leading to seizures. As seizures involves severe muscular activity there is generalized weakness / tiredness following a seizure.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
