Could Dizziness/lightheadedness Be Related To Grand Mal Seizure?

Hi there :) about 2 or 3 weeks ago I had a grand mal seizure. I went to a neurologist and was told to get an EEG and MRI done, however, I was heading off to college and the appointment was never actually made in all the chaos. Anyhow, I ve been feeling extremely dizzy and lightheaded on and off for awhile since then. Could they be related? And am I just being paranoid or is it potentially important.

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

It is not clear if it was your first seizure or had others before. While headache is common after a seizure it is not common to persist two weeks after.

I highly recommend you to do as soon as possible a cranial MRI, preceeded possibly by an EEG.


Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
