<human>: I had an episode tonight : I began to choke on aspirated liquid. My partner began pounding my back. Then my hands began to move as if to clap. My face turned purple. I lost consciousness for a bit. When I began to regain it I noticed my hands still moving as though to clap. I was still having trouble getting any air. Eventually I did. Now my partner and sister are freaked out: You were in seizure!!!, You were GONE!!! etc. Did I have a seizure? Is it brain related or due to lack of oxygen to the brain? If I need to see a doctor, what specialty? I don t have a primary care physician that has any decent history on me... Any thoughts???
<bot>: Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor ! Its seems that you have had a seizure. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist and performing a careful neurological exam and some tests: - an EEG-complete blood count-blood electrolytes -a brain CT scan or MRI study. Other tests to consider would be a cardiac check up, including a cardiac ultrasound and an ambulatory Holder rhythm monitoring for cardiac arrhythmia. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards,
