Any seizure activity must be evaluated by a Neurologist to discover the underlying cause and prevent future seizures.
At HA Brain & Spine Center our Neurologist conducts a thorough evaluation including Neurological assessment and examination combined with brain imaging and diagnostics to determine the underlying cause of seizure.
Treatment must be initiated in a timely fashion to prevent future seizures that can occur abruptly and even in dangerous situations. Anti-seizure medications help calm the brain to prevent it from "short circuiting". There are a variety of anti-seizure medications and Dr. H Walia works with every patient individually to find the medication that works best for their brain and with the least side effects.
Uncontrolled seizures or repetitive seizures can create a seizure storm known as status epilepticus where the brain continues to misfire and may lead to irreversible brain damage and even death.
If you have experienced symptoms similar to seizure please call HA Brain & Spine to get started on your road to recovery.
