Hello,
I don't know what's happening with me, but I have been having these fainting spells or seizures. I am not sure, I went to see a primary doctor finally and he wanted me to see a cardiologist which I did and I also brought up seeing a neurologist but wanted me to hold off and see the cardiologist.
He did an ultrasound and took a history of what happened. I drink a lot of caffeine. and he assumed that because I didn't get much exercise and I was dehydrated which caused my blood pressure to drop. I have not been taking my thyroid medication because my primary doctor refused to change the brand. I get bad side effects from it, even if I take it for 2 months at a time. I was to the point where I was burning up all the time and feeling sick.
I just had another seizure or fainting spell, and I got like scratches and bruises on me. I have no memory of this happening, it's the first one after a few months. My dad came in, and saw that I was on the floor trying to get back up. I was confused and burning up and making a choking noise, so he got ice and turned on the fan trying to cool me off. The only memory I have is eating a salad, blank, on my bed, blank then was outside.
Is there a possibility that this could be epilepsy? It seems to happen every few months or more, but my primary doctor does not take it seriously. I called like Thursday of last week, to set me up an appointment with a neurologist.. I waited and called back Tuesday and they said there were no notes of it so they would pass it along... I don't know if my doctor is taking it seriously or what.
Does it sound like I have epilepsy? Or what please help, I am tired of having these spells. I've had them for couple of years now.
