General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

You have a history of seizures, high blood pressure and cholesterol. I would advise you to visit a physician and get your thyroid tests (T3,T4 and TSH) done in addition to review of your anti-seizure medication, if you are taking them. It also can be a cause for your symptoms. You must get your BP monitored on regular basis twice a day for at least 5 days and show it to the treating physician as one reading of blood pressure is insufficient to decide if it has been normal or not.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Anoop Kumar, General & Family Physician
