Get evaluated for cardiac disease and seizures
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Hypotension is not a feature of seizure.
Persistent hypotension needs to be treated with increased salt and fluid intake, compression stockings and fludrocortisone.
Evaluation for cardiac rhythm disorder needs to be evaluated by ecg and 2 D Echo.
Eeg may be done for seizure assessment. Brain imaging may be required if there is abnormal eye movements with impaired consciousness.
After all assessment the symptoms may be either due to hypotension or seizure. Detailed evaluation as advised is required.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Do get back to me for further queries.
