My daughter was found in the middle of the night, unconscious and seizing on her kitchen floor.

She's 28 years old, not a child. She was taken to the local hospital where they did a CT scan and informed her that she didn’t have a seizure because if she had, she would have wet her pants. Now mind you, she’s not a lady who holds her tongue, but she felt like a train and ran her down and had no fight in her.

How should this be dealt with after the fact?

Se have a family history of Epilepsy. We all know what it looks like. How can a medical professional say something like this?

The problem with medicine is there are probably 1000s of conditions that look the same to lay people. And that is why we have medical professionals.

What is possible is that not all docs are great at communicating so although something might not fit a technical definition of a seizure for example that doesn't necessarily mean they are not taking it seriously.

Also although epilepsy can be hereditary most studies seem to suggest the increase in risk is in the single digit percentages.


My suggestion would be to go to the doctor with any questions or concerns and get clarification. But also there is no harm in getting a second opinion.
