Hi
i am 22, never had any health problems and no history of convulsions or epilepsy in my family, and had a first seizure 4 weeks ago, in the supermarket after work. I had just started a new job after 4 weeks of unemployment and had spent a lot of the 4 months drinking, although not too excessively, and had been quite stressed out. I was in the supermarket and my vision started to jump about, so I went to leave, got to the checkouts and my vision jumped about a bit again. Then the next thing I remember I came round on the floor, someone said they came round the corner and I was fitting, for about a minute. My muscles ached, but I didn't bite my tongue or soil myself. I was taken to hospital and after about half an hour my blood pressure taken and blood sugar and heart rate tested, all were normal but they did find a urine infection. I haven't had another seizure yet, it's been 4 weeks, but I have had muscle twitches, however I have been really anxious so I thought maybe it could be that. I guess basically i'm wondering in general how long after a first seizure it is most common to have another one, if you're going to have one, and also how common a single seizure is and if the factors i've mentioned could have caused a solitary one. Thanks everyone
