Had a seizure tonight, VERY SCARY SH*T Options

[Sev408]

yes as stated i blackedout tonight sitting in my chair watching tv and had a seizure.

Ill tell you the story so gather round and listen up:

I was working on my computer case that i just bought cutting up the aluminium for some case mods. Well as you know metal is sharp when its cut and my hand slipped and sliced 2 of my fingers with some massive hack marks. I started pouring blood all over my case so i jumped up real quick and ran into my bathroom to clean my hands off and get some tissues on it to stop it from bleeding. After a couple minutes I wraped my hand and sat back down in my chair. No more then a minute later everything in my room went blurry and started spinning, then started shaking and just blacked out. My head dropped back and smashed in my book shelf, the wrap on my hand landed about 5 feet away from me and my knee nailed the computer case that i was working on. I dont know how long I was out for but when i came to everything seemed normal except i felt like complete sh*t. Like take a hangover and triple it. All i can say is when i was out it felt like a dream, I could feel my body shake but i just couldnt do anything about it.

My parents freaked out and so did my girlfriend when i talked to her afterward. I still dont know what caused it but im thinking when i jumped up real quick i threw my body out of its "balance" like when you jump out of bed in the morning and get dizzy. But its never been like this before.

Well that took me about 10 minutes to type becuase of all the spelling errors i had to correct.

Alright I read up on it and aparently you can be fully aware, partially aware, or not aware at all that you had a seizure. You seem to fall into the partially aware category.

This is the link I was reading. http://www.intelihealth.com/IH/ihtIH/WSIHW...9339/10654.html

This sounds like what you had to me:

Generalized tonic-clonic seizure (also called grand mal seizure) — In this type of seizure, the person usually loses consciousness and falls to the ground. All body muscles can contract at once in a sustained contraction, or they can contract in a series of shorter rhythmic contractions, or both. Some patients also lose bowel or bladder control. The seizure episode typically lasts for less than a minute and is followed by period of lethargy (sluggishness) and confusion, possibly with muscle soreness and a headache.


Anyways the site recommends that anyone that has had there first seizure episode should be evaluted by a physician.

Also I don't think a seizure can be triggered by standing up to fast, Ive blacked out before for a second or 2 when I stand up to fast, I think thats normal, but not having a full on seizure.
