A member asked:
I had a grand mal seizure, first one ever,,im 51, will,i have another?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible.: Depends upon cause. Many seizures have an identified cause and don't recur once the cause is removed or cured (medications, alcohol, metabolic disturbance, head trauma, etc.). However, if no cause can be found then recurrence is always possible. You should be talking to your doc about this.
