Husband out of long acting insulin, he has very stinky burps (ketoactosis?) every time has burps like this he has a grand mal seizure, why? take 2 er?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ER!!!: Yes, please take your husband to the er or call 911. High sugar levels can affect the brain and cause seizures among other things. If he has stopped the Clonazepam abruptly that may also be the trigger for seizures. He will need to have his blood sugar levels brought down and monitored. Your husband needs immediate medical attention so please act abruptly.
