A member asked:

On an eeg- what does it mean if you had "longer than normal recovery from hv" and spikes & slowing in parietal lobe??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

EEG Abnormal: Hi Nicole, It would help knowing why you had the EEG. I am not so worried about the "HV" recovery but the spikes and slowing in the left temporal lobe is not normal and suggests that you might have epilepsy or s structural brain lesion and should have an MRI of the brain. This should be discussed with your doctor. Hope that helps, -Dr Safdieh
