A member asked:

I have a 16 year old male friend who got a concussion a few weeks ago. yesterday he had a seizure while playing a video game. what might this mean?

See a doctor: It's possible that the head injury is related to the seizure, especially if this was your friend's first seizure. This warrants an evauation right away.

Dr Eastburn and another doctor agreed
