A member asked:

I'm 16 and have no history of neurological problems but overtime i have had 2 seizures from i think is orthostatic hypotension. should i be concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't diagnose self: You should not diagnose yourself. Are you certain you have had a seizure? Or did you just faint? Orthostatic hypotension can cause fainting, but it does not cause seizures. It will help for you to visit a doctor in person to describe what happened, and allow them to recommend testing or not to help you prevent these events in the future.
