Question 1

Accepted Answer

Vague: your symptom description is unclear. But start with seeing your Primary physician

Question 2

head and body feel extremely weird like i'm gonna have a seizure or something with tight chest and feels like i'm not getting enough air it's scary?

Accepted Answer

Anxiety?: Sounds like you should be seen by a dr to clarify what is/is not going on. If no medical issues and having these symptoms, likely is anxiety, and may need help identifying source from professional and/or med to reduce symptoms while working it out.

Question 3

clobazam was recently prescribed as a seizure medication but now my daughter is complaining of chest pains. this is not listed as a side effect. why could it be?

Accepted Answer

Still call: Still call the doctor. More unusual side effects may not be listed. Even so, the doctor needs to know.

Question 4

i have been on xanex for 8years i have tried to stop them an had a seizure i also get really bad pains down my left arm an in my chest under my l brea?

Accepted Answer

MD will help U taper: Often when a person has been on xanax (alprazolam) for a long time, there has to be a very gradual taper under medical supervision. Sometimes the taper is combined with the use of a long acting benzodiazepine such as Klonopin . 
If there is an underlying condition why the xanax (alprazolam) was originally used, it has to be addressed. A physical evaluation which may include an eeg should also be done.

Question 5

often i feel a weird tight sensation down my left side.from neck to left side of chest.when i laugh usually i feel the sensation.is it sign of seizure

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: a siezure..much more likely a PINCHED NERVE in your neck at the C6-C7 level!

Ask your medical care provider about this and the possibility of a NECK MRI to see if this "hunch" is correct!
Hope this helps!

Question 6

my 5 yr old son had epilepsie at the age of 2 he's been seizure free lately he's been waking at night complaining of chest pain and shaking need help?

Accepted Answer

Evaluation: Your son should be reevaluated for seizures by a neurologist and also a cardiologist to see if there is a correalation between his chest pain and seizures.

Question 7

last few times right b4 my grand mal seizure people said i complained of really bad chest pain. didnt think that was a typical seizure aura. ideas?

Accepted Answer

Almost anything goes: In seizures there are limitless ways of having either "aura" or "premonitory symptoms"....I try to reserve aura for things that are universally thought of as aura such as sounds, visual phenomenon, streaks/lights, sudden muffling of sounds....but then, there are things like feelings of something coming up from the stomach, heat flashes, etc. I call those premonitory symptoms. Could be aura as well

Question 8

was rxed tramadol for chest pains at er yesterday. i stopped taking prozac (fluoxetine) over 2 weeks ago.would i still be at risk for serotonin syndrome or seizure?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Prozac (fluoxetine) usually clears from the body by two weeks. You are not likely to experience serotonin syndrome at this time. Tramadol by itself, however, can lower the seizure threshold making you at risk to have a seizure.  If you are not taking it on an ongoing basis, you are safe.  Hope this helps. Best wishes!

Question 9

cold/or flu, body ache, weak muscles, 15y.o., headache, couhing, chest pain/ throat too, cold body but hot at the same time, seizure in sleep, help?

Accepted Answer

See your Dr: With any new onset seizure, i would suggest being evaluated. In lifht of the symptoms described, one must consider meningitis.

Question 10

what is a lung convulsive seizure?

Accepted Answer

What kind of sz?: Never heard of this.  There is a such thing as a convulsive seizure, in which case there is loss of consciousness and uncontrolled, involuntary movement of the muscles of the arms and legs, but the word "lung" does not fit here.
