Should I See A Neurologist As I Suffered A Sort Of Seizure While Driving But ECG /MRI Shows Nothing ?

A MONTH AGO I HAD SOME SORT OF SEIZURE WHILE DRIVING. AN ECG AND MRI OF THE BRAIN HAVE SHOWED NOTHING UNUSUAL. I AM ON A WAITING LIST TO SEE A NEUROLOGIST AT THE PA HOSPITAL. I AM WONDERING IF I NEED A REFERRAL TO SEE A NEUROLOGIST IF I CAN FIND ONE TO SEE ME QUICKER THAN WAITING (PROBABLY 3 0R SO MONTHS) AS I AM A COURIER DRIVER AND I NEED TO WORK FOR MY FAMILY. I ASSUME I NEED A CLEARANCE FROM A NEUROLOGIST BEFORE I CAN DRIVE AGAIN

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. I f you have had a single seizure, then you can't drive one year after the seizure, after a year of seizure free you can drive again. The treatment begins after a second seizure, if it happens. This has to be certified by your Neurologist, offcourse. 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.
