I have generalized t/c seizures and am having trouble breathing. should i request a arterial blood gases test from my doctor?

Trouble breathing: You should probably call your doctor as soon as possible if you are having trouble breathing, or go to the ER. Arterial blood gases may or may not be indicated after you have been evaluated.
