Q: Seizure
asked by: swatkins on February 27th, 2006

My friend had two seizures last year, but he didn't describe them to the doctor as seizures as he didn't know what they were, he had thought that he'd passed out, they put it down to tiredness. I witnessed his third one yesterday and I am quite worried for him. He came into the room where I was sat and leaned over, then he flew backwards to opposite way onto the floor, arching his back and rolling his eyes making funny noises, as though he wasn't breathing. It only lasted a minite of so, I was tilting his head back so that he didn't choke on his tongue. I was just about to call an ambulance when he looked at me and seemed okay. He'd broken a sweat and had no recollection of the siezure, I wanted to call the ambulence still but he insisted that he was okay. Is there any chance that you can advise what this may be, or what I can do???? I've told him that he has to see a doctor, but I think that he's too scared.

Seizures can be very dangerous for many reasons just on their own (the person can hurt themselves), and can be signs of serious illness. Your friend might be scared to go to the doctor, but it can only improve the situation, and it may even put his mind at ease (if it turns out to be less serious than it *could* be).

Your friend should go to the doctor sooner rather than later.
