Had sleep deprived eeg today

[horsehead]

So i've been up since 8 am yesterday , it 6:30 pm now. had the eeg at 9 am today. So all i know that occured during the eeg is very rapid eye blinking during the strobe lights and hyperventalation parts of the test. i was aware of it but could not control it. could this possibly be a seizure? Nothing else happened during the test that i am aware of. the tech was typeing away but she never said anything. wont probably know anything tell 18th of april when i have the follow up appt

I'm told it is very normal for the eyes to feel like they are "flickering" in response to the strobe light. During the hyperventilation test I'm not sure what eye blinking would mean as I've never had that one done.

 

[horsehead]

ok just wondered it will probably be normal like the rest of mine are

After I'm deprived of sleep, my eyes burn and I blink a lot. It probably gets worse in stressful situations. I don't think it would mean much, but I guess that is why there is a doctor to explain it.

yep wont know though tell the 18th of april so i thought i'd ask you guys. the tech doing the test didn't say anything they normally dont

Yuck these tests suck! but then again they're suppose to

I can never tolerate them for more than 5 minutes...though MRI's don't bother me as much

I don't think they made me hyperventilate this last test though...can't remember...they did make me do a strip dance though (jk)

 

[horsehead]

strip dancing would be way more fun with no audiance though

 

[MrE]

Lol

 

[horsehead]

i think some people may go blind if they saw that. lol

 

[MrE]

Not if you're a supermodel like me
