Hi Maggie,

Welcome to CWE! Did you feel confused or did you lose your memory at all for a few seconds to a few minutes and did you have
a headache after this happened along with feeling tired. This is what happens when a person has a seizure. They will also have convulsions
if they have a tonic clonic seizure.
It's good that you contacted your Dr. be sure to tell the Dr. all the details of what happened and from there the Dr. will be able to tell
you if you should see a neurologist. I wish you the best of luck and May God Bless You,

Sue

Try to keep track of everything that happens when you feel like this and after. How long it lasted, how long it took for you to feel better and if anything like Porkette said happened. This way you'll be able remember to tell the doctor about things that happened and answer questions he might have. Your doctor should be able tell you if you should see a neurologist or another type of doctor.
