Is it possible in 98 after having what was thought to be 2 seizures in my sleep just eyes rolling was misdiagnosed by eeg while taking sleep me at 16?

Seizure diagnosis: The diagnosis of a seizure disorder is complex and can change over time. A consultation with a neurologist can help clarify these issues and give a prognosis of what to expect in the future.

Likely seizure: Sleeping often brings out seizure activity and the eeg is quite effective at capturing such activity. The rolling back of eyes produces a distinct pattern on the eeg that all epileptologists can recognize. It is quite unlikely that they confused that with seizure activity.
