A member asked:
What do you suggest if i had my first grand-mal seizure, which was absolutely terrifying, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: It can be frightening, but it's important to understand why it occurred. Seizures can be due to many reasons. So, it's recommended you consult a neurologist for evaluation. Of note, in tx, if you're diagnosed w/ epilepsy, you have to be seizure free for a period of 6 mo. Before you can drive.
