Unllikely: Pseudoseizures are usually a psychiatric dx. They do not always have to be. The only time you might see a seizure like process is if the blood pressure is low or the pt is dehydrated and someone stands up they may faint and present like a seizure but is not a true seizure. This needs to be discussed more closely with your doctor.
