Can Seizures Cause One-sided Body Weakness?

Good evening..My mother is experiencing muscle weakness, disoriented, we re having to repeat commands to her several times,left side weakness..the hospital has done an mri,egg, and CT but the only thing that showed up was possible seizure activity..Is it possible she may be having TIA S? Are there any other test that may be done to possibly find out what s causing these symptoms?

Hi,

After going through the reports, it is clear that TIA cannot be ruled out, though my first thought would be in the form of seizure and medicine thereof. Seizure medicines can cause the feeling of muscle weakness, disorientation etc. There is at present no test which can confirm TIA.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
