A member asked:
Can a vasovagal syncope or concussion (or both?) cause convulsions? if so, are the convulsions an indicator of severity? thank you! :)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Both processes can be associated with a seizure. In the case of a concussion. A seizure associated with a concussion is an indication of severity. However, with a vasovagal episode, many people will have a brief episode of tonic/clonic activity that comes on when they faint. This is not a seizure. Some people do have seizures though with vagal response.
