I was at the dentist yesterday and I had a seizure.....they told me. I took my klonopine and still got a reallly bad one not like I usually get which is a Pseudo seizure this was a grand mal seizure they said. What is happening to me? Is it possible to get a grand mal if I have never had one....I mean I was shaking around like a fish and trying to swallow my tongue and also my eyes were rolled back what do you think?
Hello welcome to Chat Doctor Sudden involuntary shaking, movements of extremities, tongue fall, rolled eyeballs etc. are most likely symptoms of Generalized tonic-clonic seizure. These are also associated with loss of consciousness for some seconds. These type of seizures can occur in any human and at any time without any history. Even single episode of seizure should not be ignored. So please visit a good neurologist and consult regarding the treatment options, and investigations. EEG, MR scan is needed to rule out any organic cause. Medicines like Carbamazepine, Phenytoin, Sodium valproate etc. are very useful in such cases. So visit a neurologist as early as possible. Thanks
