A member asked:
Is it possible that anxiety can cause neurological symptoms like a 'seizure' symptom?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes it is possible. But it is very important to rule out any kind of seizure disorder, medical or medication issues. See a physician and get checked out. If it is anxiety that is causing these symptoms there is effective psychological treatment for this kind of anxiety. Good luck and best wishes.
