Hello, I have nocturnal epilepsy and am very pregnant. My neurologist just upped my dose to 2 in the morning and 2 at night because I was having chronic seizures. That did take my seizures away but last night I had a scary session that the inside of my head felt like it was swelling up to the point where it felt like it was going to pop! I cannot get in contact with my neurologist today and don t know if I can tomorrow. I did talk to a nurse and all she told me was that if it was happening, that it was an emergency situation and I had to go to the hospital. How do I know if it is actually happening and I am not just feeling like it is happening? Cause I know that brain edema can get so bad that it can cause damage or death. Thank you.
