A member asked:
Can you tell me how to know if i have epilepsy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fairly simple: By definition, epilepsy refers to repetitive episodes of "ALTERED CONSCIOUSNESS", so, you would either become unaware of your surroundings or actually fully lose consciousness. If you seem to experience periodic "spells", this is not necessarily epilepsy, but get checked out.
