I had a 10 minute seizure last night when i was sleeping. is this okay? what should i do?

Seizure.: Assuming you know for certain that it was a seizure (witnessed by someone, I presume), then it certainly is not OK. Was this your first seizure? Seizures are not normal occurrences, and a first seizure requires testing by your PMD and a Neurologist.
