Chill like full body jerks after head injury and staring spells are they seizures. they all started after head injury

Seizure: This is of concern. A neurologist can sort this out. Seizures after head trauma are often observed and need to be taken serious. We often recommend an MRI of the brain, an eeg and close neurological follow ups.
