Dr. Jon Ahrendsen answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Consult a Neurolgist: If you have an abnormal eeg, it depends on how abnormal it is, and what is your other medical and neurolgic history. Really only a specialist should advise you what your next step is. It might be medicine, it might be just watching things.
