Why Forgetting Things And Having Progressive Migraine After Having Seizure?

I m 16 and I had a seizure during the summer and face planted into a door and the floor. I scratched my forehead and was going in and out of consciousness for a while. Now I m forgetting a lot of stuff and I keep having progressive migraines that have been happening every day. Should I be worried, my mom won t take me to the hospital to be checked. Should I worry about my health further deteriorating

Neurologist,  's  Response
Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to a brain lesion.

From the other hand the fact that you have had a seizure followed by a head trauma, raises suspicions of possible intracranial bleeding (like delayed subdural hemorrhage, etc.).

The progressive deterioration in your clinical situation is really concerning.

So, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a careful neurological exam and performing some tests:

- a brain CT scan
- an EEG
- complete blood count
- PCR, sedimentation rate for inflammation
- thyroid hormone levels.

A brain MRI may be needed.

Hope to have been helpful!

Greetings, Dr. Aida
