Suggest Treatment For Seizure
Hello, IIm a 26 year old male and I have been feeling a bit odd lately. When I stare at a computer monitor or whach the Television at sometime I feel odd, and anxious. My nostrils get blocked , my jaw hurts and I squint through as I feel like I have trouble concentrating. For the past year and a half , I was on Citalopram Hydrobromide and felt normal for sometime but suddenly have this morbid fear of having a seizure all though my eeg report taken years ago read all clear and I was non epileptic. Ive never had a seizure in my life as far as I can remember although this troublesome phobia has had its talons on my psyche. What might be the cause and How can I rectify this ? Thanks

Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal, MD.
Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query
I still dont think this is a seizure. The symptoms you have mentioned indicate an anxiety disorder, and frankly, you have mentioned that yourself in the query- you feel odd and anxious.
I THINK YOU NEED NOT WORRY. Seizures are something no doctor would want to miss or skip. It is a diagnosis that all doctors will surely treat. So if your doctors have already considered the possibility and ruled it out, you should relax.
A repeat EEG and MRI Brain may help. The last as per your query have been quite old
I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other so I can be of help further.
I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.
Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.
Please feel free to ask another query. I would be glad to help you. Looking forward to your return query with the details asked so that I can help you further.
(If the answer has helped you, please indicate this)
Best of luck.
