A member asked:

Follow up question about radiation i had the reaction(passed out & had seizure) before the stress never got to do the test.?

Dr. Rick Koch answered

Vagal response : Clearly a very disturbing event & further evaluation is needed. This could've been a vasovagal event. Sometimes seizure-like activity is observed but these are very different entities.
