A member asked:
I one night woke up with my left side of my body numb. could this have been a seizure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Seizures are typically "positive" symptoms with muscle jerking, staring, reduced awareness. People can have sensory seizures but it may be more likely that you had a pinched nerve. Seizures also have a short duration, typically seconds to minutes.
