Red Dots All Over My Eyes


After my last two seizures (tonic/clonic) I've woken up with little red dots under my eyes. Some on the eyelid too. I have a photobucket link to a picture of the dots but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post pics or links so I won't post it yet.

I really want to know if this has happened to anyone else?

Those are broken blood vessels, and fairly common after a tonic-clonic seizure -- they are associated with the muscles straining while you are seizing seizing. There can be other factors (blood pressure, dehydration, fatigue etc.) that may make your body more vulnerable to this effect during a seizure.

The red dots should clear up in a few days to a few weeks. Taking vitamin C might help a bit to prevent this in the future. (Vitamin C helps strengthen the walls of little blood vessels.)
