Can Dizziness And Droopiness In Face Be Signs Of Epileptic Seizure?
I had a little incident on Nov 30, 2013... As I was putting make-up on, I became dizzy and I could not speak for at least 5 minutes and was all mixed up... after that, everything I wanted to say did not come out right and the right side of my face was all droopy and that lasted for about 5 hours... do you think that could of been an epileptic seizer?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM
As per your history,it may be a type of seizure called absence seizure,but droopiness of face is not because of this.
There might be transient paresis of facial nerve supplying the facial muscles.since it subsided after 5 hours,no need to worry about it.
If this episode recurs again,you need to consult a neurologist for further evaluation.
Thank you.
