I May Have Had A Mini Seizure. Did I Just Not Get Enough Blood/oxygen In My Brain ?
Okay so i just got up like 15 minutes ago. i went downstairs sat on a couch for about 10 minutes. got up to get some cereal but my vision got bright and i got dizzy (this happens sometimes for me when i get up really fast) i started for the kitchen when i just collapsed. i don t know what happened but after a few seconds i was fine. i didn t go unconscious, I just fell. This never happened to me and im wondering what happened ? did i just not get enough blood/oxygen in my brain ? also after i collapsed my left leg started convulsing. I just couldn t control my lower left part of my body and im worried i may have had a mini seizure

thanks for the query
well from the history you have given it looks like you have had a syncopal attack followed by a seizure mostly partial from your history, i would suggest you consult a doctor immediately goto the hospital get a ct scan done to rule out any pathology in the brain that could have caused this and also get your blood pressure level checked along with an EEG if it is available.do not worry even if it is seizure it can be controlled sing medications. take care.
