My son is 35 years old. 2 years ago he had his first seizure. 1 yr later he had his second one. Now six months after that he just had one today. He has had test done and they say he is clean. There has to be something wrong. What other kind of test should he have to find out what is going on?

Hello,
Recurrent seizure in an adult may occur due to Hypo- parathyroidism leading to hypocalcaemia, Drug and alcohol related, infection / trauma / tumour of brain, metabolic causes leading to low blood sugar / sodium or high blood urea may aggravate seizure frequency. So go for investigations like serum electrolyte, blood sugar level, electro cardiogram, lumbar puncture test, Electro encephalogram, CT & MRI of brain. Consult a neuro physician for physical examination and further evaluation.
Thank you for consulting HCM.
