A member asked:
Do you have to go to the hospital after a grand mal epileptic seizure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If you've never had one before, you need to go to be evaluated for the cause - with acute serious issues ruled out. If you have a known history, there's no need to go as long as you're not injured during the seizure.
