pat57 Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Experts could know. Seizures from lack of oxygen present in a certain way. Throwing head forward then back and aching the body , arms and legs go out away from torso then in toward torso. The pattern does not increase or decrease in intensity for the duration. Get as many details as you can on the movements and sounds that occurred. Also how you felt before and after. Status epileptic is like 20 minutes long, isn't it? That alone might mean it was epileptic and not lack of oxygen. I have had 3 "bad" seizures and about 6 little ones. My grand mal type lasted 1 to 2 minutes. The others about 10 seconds. Mine are from lack of oxygen from NCS - bradycardia. This book.http://www.amazon.com/Syncope-Mechanisms-M...d_sim_b_title_1has details about seizures. Good luck.

pat57 Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Did they put you on anti seizure medicine? Did they give you a medicine to carry with you in case of emergency? Those type of seizures are an emergency. And lastly, did the Dr. say that status epileptic is only from epilepsy?I guess not or you wouldn't have asked the question.I did a brief search and read that there are a "number" of possible causes, hypoglycemia -was mentioned. Unfortunately that was the only thing specifically mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
