I had a seizure last Saturday (I mentioned it on here) but today I got a copy of the EMT records from them, to show my doctor, to keep for my records...
I've had some thoughts in my head lately too that I might have been having PNES all along and perhaps not epileptic seizures at all.
this thinking makes me upset - it makes me feel like I'm "faking" something, when I have no idea whatsoever.
but anyway, aside from doing an extended study at the hospital it seems there isn't much way to tell for sure (?)
I could have asked the EMTs to check my prolactin level, I guess, from what I've learned online, althought that isn't reliable
my heart rate was 104, respiratory rate was 18, my BP was 144/50, glucose was 127
none of these are atypical it seems, except my BP seems way out of whack for my normal BP range
do PNES have ability to throw off the BP like that?
I'm usually 120/70 plus or minus just a few - I've always had a really good BP since I quit drinking
