I returned from Hawaii family vacation, and the following day I had a grand ma seizure. I’m 55 years no medical concerns, I take no medications. Then 51 days later I had 3 more seizures, hit my head pretty hard. I actually had one while they were doing the EEG. Got a diagnosis. I’ve been on Keppra for 2 months (500mg BID) and I haven’t had anymore. I do feel like I’ve had a couple of Focal, but I’m not sure. It’s been life changing, stressful not knowing what caused them. I’m blessed, I have a good support system.
I am so happy to have discovered your channel. I have congenital hydrocephalus due to a very large posterior fossa cyst. As an infant I was repeatedly experiencing nocturnal seizures. However, doctors dismissed my parents' concerns and life went on until I was 21 and my mum found me having an epileptic seizure in bed one morning and she automatically assumed I'd been taking drugs. When I recovered and told her of previous events she took me to my GP who referred me to the hospital. I have since undergone 7 ops and I now have a VP shunt in place. Your channel is a godsend to me. Thank you.
I deeply value the knowledge you've shared, and I feel extremely fortunate and grateful to have come across this channel. A little over a year ago, I experienced a severe case of autoimmune Encephalitis triggered by a viral infection. Despite the efforts of neurologists who treated me, the specific virus responsible for the illness remains unidentified. Thankfully, my recovery has been swift, and I haven't experienced any cognitive or motor coordination issues. However, it is disheartening to note that I have lost approximately two years' worth of memories leading up to the incident. Currently, I have been dealing with focus seizures that manifest as distressing sensations resembling nightmares or Deja vu throughout the day. These episodes last only a few seconds and do not hinder my cognitive abilities or motor coordination. Nevertheless, they are truly frightening. I am receiving excellent treatment at one of the top institutions in the country, and I hope that eventually this condition will subside. Once again, thank you for providing this valuable channel.
Watching your videos with interest. Had one seizure in April and have still not had diagnosis. Not even seen Nuerologist yet...frustrated is an under statement.
Thanks Doctor. You have helped me diagnoze myself and set up a treatment plan. You have saved me money and time not to mention the headache of dealing with stupid protocol based physicians where I live.
I turned 50, and after all of a sudden, I had one drop where I fell on the floor and then woke up. After that, I had a morning grand mal that broke two of my vertebrae. I had two more head bruising falls and then was put in lamotrigine. I have had a few really heavy deja vu but seem to be ok now. They did all the tests and found nothing. I had no issue before other than living with major chronic pain, major depressive disorder, and a problem with my thoracic outlet in my arms. I have no idea how this happened. My memory seems to be different now, and I sometimes forget things.

I had seizures in March 2024. Starting shaking from leftt hand,sometimes can be controlled by massaging my hand and holding it tighly. Only two times got me collapsed. I am 32. I was diagnostic epilepsy, after scanning my head, it is resulted as brain Infection but I did noned of possible thing may lead to it.I took epileptic medicament, 24 days later, I almost had crises after driving motor within 20min, it started the same way, but massaged by friend and it stopped not making suffocated. What kind of seizures is it?
M daughter had 5 seizure in one day after having one 6 months ago.what can be the cause. Also islamotrigine the correct medication. Also is the medication that you taken with or without food.
I have had epilepsy since birth in 1959 when I had a 'perinatal stroke'. Though out the years, my epileptic seizures have kept changing. In 1999-2008 the seizures suddenly stopped. In 2008 they started up again, no one can explain to me why they should suddenly stop and restart again. I had a seizure several weeks ago, they kept me in hospital 15 days, because the doctors didn't quite know what it was (I have never had an epileptic seizure like that before). They put it down to a 'focal epilepic seizure', in the end. Now my seizures jump through out my 'limbs feet' and head. Now they can last for hours on end. One lasted for over 25 hours last year.
Drug induced or drug withdrawal induced should be a category. He also didn’t mention heat related seizures. A high fever due to infection can cause a seizure and so can heat stroke.
My daughtet is suffering from absence epilepsy and on treatment eith syp ansenz 2.5ml twice since 2 years so far there is episodes of epilepsy neurologist planned for 2years so 2 years over today i am taking her to doctor is there chance to stop medicatuon
I love your explanation Videos :) my epilepsy is caused by a rare genetic mutation which causes a neurodevelopmental disorder. 50% of the patients also have different types of seizures.
Me too. My gene is ATP1a2 and i am autistic with JME and hemiplegic migraines. The specific gene mutation i have is linked to developmental and epileptic encephalopathy.
My mom has genetic generalized seizures but I don't have that. I have been told by doctor that I have focal awareness seizures. Is this a norma genetic occurance?
I had a seizure as a child. I was playing on my Nintendo DS, I was making a animation with a police car. And the flashing lights triggered it. I am almost certain that my seizure lasted longer than 5 minutes, and I am also sure it was a tonic-clonic seizure. I have been noticing epilepsy symptoms here more recently. But they tested me for epilepsy as a child. Is there anyway I could have developed epilepsy later on in my life?
Yes. Some seizure disorders are harder to diagnose. I have JME and was misdiagnosed as not having epilepsy until my 30s. My (bad) seizures started around 15-16 years old when migraines started as well. I have had 3 EEGs... 2 negative, 1 positive. Sometimes EEGs do not capture activity but that doesnt mean there is no epilepsy.
Thankyou Dr for these wonderful videos, you explain such complex subjects so simply! I have been having epilepsy since past 11 years since age 28. It is diagnosed as Focal Epilepsy with "Secondary Generalisation in the left front lobe. I have tried various medicines over the years some have helped for some time but then after a while a seizure happens & my doctor changes the medication. My causes I feel are hormonal(before my period) & right after my Childs delivery ,infectious (at the time of a flu) & metabolic (a heavy meal at night) as my seizure always occurs in my sleep 1-2 hrs after sleeping. Please advice & I have almost given up hope due to so much suffering...
I have epilepsy and am otherwise completely normal and healthy. Tonic-clonic seizures began at age 15 and happen randomly with no apparent trigger or pattern. Neurologists have told me this is actually quite common, for many epileptics there just doesn’t seem to be any particular reason that can be identified as to why they have the condition, or when/why their seizures occur. Weird, that’s life I guess.
I am 50 years old and was fairly healthy and all of a suddenly I had a pass out atonic seizure and then a few months later a grand mal and then 2 atonic where I fell and got a goose egg on the back and then on the front of my head. I am on lamotrigine now and have had two very faint ones just as I hit full 2 100mg pills a day. We do not know what caused it. Had CT, mri and eeg and nothing to see. How is this happening?
Hey there and hello. The same has happened to me. So confusing, and now I've got a fat lip. I hope you're keeping safe and have some better understanding of the reasons now. I just beginning this journey. Reading your post let me feel better bc others going though it also. Not alone. 🖖😊
Thank you doctor for your information,when i was a child I failed down from a building,I haven’t any problems after I get in the age 14 I was attacked by seizure the doctor said it’s a partial seizure I take MRI & EEG ,the doctor said there is no any problems in your brain , I don’t know it’s seizure or other things 😢
I had meningitis at the age of 6 years old and started getting seizures at age 39. Can the meningitis from childhood cause epilepsy later in life? Thank you for your videos Doctor Omar, you are a superstar ❤🌸🤗
I have Lupus SLE and fibromyalgia and about to be diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and I’ve had a seizure in a coma but just had one last Saturday full on the hospital are blaming my pain medication palexia 150mg which is rubbish You are smart and look at it from all directions mine sounds autoimmune
Salam Dr. Omar Danoun. We are very grateful brilliant epileptologist. We are grateful for your expertise sir to be able to learn. I focus upon this as neuropyschologist and I would like to get your expertise. Sir can you educate about the EEG and how sleep wake cycles impact seniors? I have found in geriatric patients many of the hallucinations and delusions during REM transition. I have this as differential diagnosis versus more acute hosptial delirium (UTI, pneumonia, etc). It seems this is related to s/p CVA or related neurological insult stage 4 and above dementa as well. It just seems these sleep wake transitions can be very diagnostically relevant for our seniors. This is especially if brain damage and have very vivid hallucinations and delusions REM. Please educate.
Thankyou so much for the information of epilepsy/seizure doctor.I dont know whether i am undergoing epilepsy or seizure. I some time cannot open my eyes fully to the normal size and then at that time I cannot do my kitchen work and I feel lieing and taking rest. But one I can do is that is reading our family prayer book. That is reading the prayer which is by heart for me. Usually it comes in the evening. What shall I do Dr for this sickness. Please reply.....
I have catamenial epilepsy, my hormones are responsible for this epilepsy and I’m becoming closer to menopause each month is so different one month can be very scary mentally and emotionally, one month can be that I need to take a frisium to stop any symptoms building up to a seizure, Each month is different , Symptoms can be strong or very weak etc
I had the first seizure when 11 and six months later it happened again at the hospital where i was diagnosed with epilepsy. now it happens every 2 - 3 months and i am 25 now what do i do? The only thing I know about this is that it happens in the frontal lobe and the good thing about it is it happens in my sleep at home with family.
Hello Dr,I have a two year old girl who was diagnosed with generalized epilepticform discharge after an EGG,and she has been on epilem syrup for one year now,but her development is still low.she can't stand or walk by herself up to now.i have done physio,electral therapy,heat therapy
Well I guess my case is the most unique,I had my first seizure in 2018, I know of no 1 in my family with this so I wouldn't say it's genetic, now I'm having a attack almost twice a week every week,and I'm now 41 years old 🤦♂️
@@allylondon9579 @3kdark I started having them at 43 and no one in my family has them. I have them every 3 to 4 weeks only while I am sleeping and only right before my period or right after it starts. Doctors do not know why and no one has been able to tell me anything.
@@kimberly6200 seriously??? You guys this is WEIRD! Yet no one can explain it? I don’t drink or do drugs and I don’t have any weird eating habits. I have always been pretty healthy then this. When I used to drink it was just socially but never had an issue and I have never done drugs. You guys WHAT is going on this is not just by chance! No neurologist sees anything and none can explain. I have stopped taking the meds because I don’t like meds anyway and they make me feel 100 times worse. I don’t know what to do.
Mine started at 36. Went big. It was a drop seizure and I was standing on a marble floor. My head hit the floor and I had 4 hemorrhages, a subdural hematoma and a skull fracture. I was told it was syncope. Until I later totaled a car. Asked my neurologist what causes that to happen. We have known each other a while, so he looked at me, raised an eyebrow and asked, “How many concussions have you had?” Quite a few. So there is a possibility if you are still looking for a reason.
Sir ! My mom is 70 , during covid her bp rose to 180/110 llater she went unconscious. It was told that it was epilepsy attack though she didn’t have any particular Seizure .. her head spins a lot . Now she’s in Doha and facing the same conditions since yesterday, 170/100 is her bp …. Don’t know what to do ??!
I have had seizures sense I was 4 years old. Medicine has controlled them on and off. They have never known why. Now they are saying it could be stress. They only do EEGs every so often now. I am at the point where I they are uncontrollable and I am limited. Do you have any advice?
I had my first ever seizure last week, at 39 years of age and had 3 in one day. Appararently I had low oxygen in my brain and extremely low iron levels. Now I get nervous if I get a headache and ask my children to go to their bedrooms as they were quite disturbed by the events. There's no history of seizures in any of my family tree.
Sir i am suffering from generalized tonic chronic seizure from last 10yrs m on valporate 200 twice and clobazam 5 once a day nw seizure frequency is once in a year...now i recently got married planning for pregnancy please suggest me a medicine safe for pregnancy nd having less side effcts. PLEASE
My son who is 11, hasnt had a seizure in three years but his EEG shows that he is having spikes at night. He is currently on Onfi, acetazolamide, and amatadine. his neurologist has increased his amantadine. are their reasons as to why his is having spikes at night?
I believe that my seizures have been caused by my hypoxic brain injury that occurred back in 2018. Since 2018 I have suffered with about 15-20 seizures. That was until I stopped smoking cigarettes whichwason January27 2021. My last seizure was on March 22nd 2021. That was until I started taking Gabapentin and clonazepam for tremors and shaking. Then while coming off of that I experienced a seizure and that was on July 18th of this year. So then they put me on Keppra or the generic version of it. That made my depression way worse. So now they have me on oxcarbazapine. Which for my understanding as an epileptic drug. And I don't think that I have epilepsy. I think i have myocolonic seizures and tonic colonic seizures. So i guess my question is how can I completely stop taking these medications without having a seizure?
I had a grand mall seisuer in march 2014. Recently I've had 2 that put me in an ambulance and to the icu. I'm a 70 year old woman . My health has been bad. What causes this. I understand I was a very sick child growing up.
I've started having seisuers in the past year I've had 2.my health is not good. I weigh 80 pounds and I'm 5 ft 3 inches tall. Normally I weigh 109 lbs. I need a good Dr to help me with this problem. Prior to the 2 seisuers I had 1 grand mall seisuers in2013
Am from India. Am experiencing seizure by having tinitus in the ear and not knowing what happens next to me and sometimes tinitus in the ear by which I can't bear any small sounds even the baby crying. It makes me irritated. EEG will be normal
My son got seizure when he was 15 years old, while he was riding on the bike, then he all of a sudden he felt dizzy so he stopped right away and then seizure happen. Since then almost every month, he has seizure. His neuro dr. Told us that it is a focal seizure that my son has. Is there anyway that hi seizure can be stop?
I haven't been able to see a heart specialist since I was a teen and can't find one about my heart condition in the state I live in because it's kinda rare. I'm wondering if keppra is hurting my heart. Cause I'm not well. My hands knees feet are purple a lot. They turn red when I feel a seizure coming on. Anyway, thank you for your videos and for replying to me.
I am still trying to figure out how I have 3 or 4 spots on the front of my brain and on the back (on ct scan).... my neurologist thinks its as a result of a motocross accident in the past, just doesn't make sense.
I can't say for you.. But in cases of head trauma.. The head hits the ground or an object then the brain moves in the skull and hits the front then bounces back and hits the back of the skull again and causes bleeding and scars as a consequence and this is called coup counter coup injury
@@DrOmarDanoun what about serotonin syndrome? I spent 4 weeks in a coma and was diagnosed with serotonin syndrome. I was on citalopram and I was feeling unwell on holiday so I took some painkillers two days later I had a grand mal and ended up in ICU. Do you think the serotonin syndrome would of caused the epilepsy? I was 35 when diagnosed with epilepsy never had a seizure in my life before.
I would like to say that the hospital thinks I had a Seizure on 08/02/2023but I am type 1 diabetes 1 Seizure Report Status - Distributed Second Seizure-18th April 2023 Reason for Presentation Post Seizure in the setting of hypoglycaemia as I was 2.5 levels so I reckon all to do with my diabetes... What do you think..Thanks from scott
I now have a vns, I’m having blackouts no warning at all they started a few months ago. I had an mri scan and nothing has changed. I’m actually scared for my life.
I was born with epilepsy. Caused by a low calcite deficiency. But it must not be so if it's a brain?! I was born with Tonic clonic I'm now 42 years old living with Tonic clonic seizures and they're due to a calcium deficiency then why do I need to take generic brand of keppra whichever my doctor has blocked me from taking at the this dangerous to leave me without medication I am looking for a doctor to prescribe medication to me please ASAP
I have no idea where mine came from. I do get upset when I have one. I have bad habits when I feel one because I am new to seizures. I get scared so I hide from people when I feel one. Even though there is a seizure plan for me at work. I feel I can't trust anyone when I feel I'm going to have one. (That's not their fault at all; it's something I have to work on) At home when I feel one, I stay in my room all day and make sure no one comes in. I had a seizure at work Sunday and my coworker found me in the small storage room I usually go to, to have one. He had to go in there to put some items on the shelf. I trust this guy enough to let myself have one in front of him. He's the only person at work I allow myself to have one in front of. (I try to hold a seizure when I can) I know that me being upset is a trigger for a seizure, so I try to avoid getting upset. Trying to hold a seizure doesn't help me either; I try to let them happen when I feel one and feel better. I don't like having seizures in front of people.
Yes it is hard.. We know that attending to the seizure and stimulating the patient is better because in rare cases the seizure can be severe and cause injuries or even death if not attended to
Salam, Dr sab! Could you please let me know if i can contact you through your email address or other social media communication tools? I really need to talk to you about my case. Regards,

Thank you for your videos Doctor Omar, you are a superstar ❤🌸🤗
No I doubt it’s the meningitis from childhood if it were you’d of experienced seizures before now I think that it’s something unconnected.
I have Lupus SLE and fibromyalgia and about to be diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and I’ve had a seizure in a coma but just had one last Saturday full on the hospital are blaming my pain medication palexia 150mg which is rubbish You are smart and look at it from all directions mine sounds autoimmune

I have catamenial epilepsy, my hormones are responsible for this epilepsy and I’m becoming closer to menopause each month is so different one month can be very scary mentally and emotionally, one month can be that I need to take a frisium to stop any symptoms building up to a seizure,

I had the first seizure when 11 and six months later it happened again at the hospital where i was diagnosed with epilepsy. now it happens every 2 - 3 months and i am 25 now what do i do? The only thing I know about this is that it happens in the frontal lobe and the good thing about it is it happens in my sleep at home with family.

Thank you.. Appreciate it
Well I guess my case is the most unique,I had my first seizure in 2018, I know of no 1 in my family with this so I wouldn't say it's genetic, now I'm having a attack almost twice a week every week,and I'm now 41 years old 🤦♂️
This is my sister. No one in the family and she started having seizures this year at 45 years
@@allylondon9579 @3kdark I started having them at 43 and no one in my family has them. I have them every 3 to 4 weeks only while I am sleeping and only right before my period or right after it starts. Doctors do not know why and no one has been able to tell me anything.

@@kimberly6200 seriously??? You guys this is WEIRD! Yet no one can explain it? I don’t drink or do drugs and I don’t have any weird eating habits. I have always been pretty healthy then this. When I used to drink it was just socially but never had an issue and I have never done drugs. You guys WHAT is going on this is not just by chance! No neurologist sees anything and none can explain. I have stopped taking the meds because I don’t like meds anyway and they make me feel 100 times worse. I don’t know what to do.
Mine started at 36. Went big. It was a drop seizure and I was standing on a marble floor. My head hit the floor and I had 4 hemorrhages, a subdural hematoma and a skull fracture. I was told it was syncope. Until I later totaled a car.
Asked my neurologist what causes that to happen.
We have known each other a while, so he looked at me, raised an eyebrow and asked, “How many concussions have you had?”
Quite a few. So there is a possibility if you are still looking for a reason.
Sir ! My mom is 70 , during covid her bp rose to 180/110 llater she went unconscious. It was told that it was epilepsy attack though she didn’t have any particular Seizure .. her head spins a lot . Now she’s in Doha and facing the same conditions since yesterday, 170/100 is her bp …. Don’t know what to do ??!
I have had seizures sense I was 4 years old. Medicine has controlled them on and off. They have never known why. Now they are saying it could be stress. They only do EEGs every so often now. I am at the point where I they are uncontrollable and I am limited. Do you have any advice?
Hi Dr. Danoun, I was wondering, could epilepsy develop overtime through emotional, unsettled trauma?
This is case by case basis
Can you give some advice for us. My nephew has eimfs. She is just 6 months old. How we can find the treatment.
I had my first ever seizure last week, at 39 years of age and had 3 in one day. Appararently I had low oxygen in my brain and extremely low iron levels. Now I get nervous if I get a headache and ask my children to go to their bedrooms as they were quite disturbed by the events. There's no history of seizures in any of my family tree.

My son who is 11, hasnt had a seizure in three years but his EEG shows that he is having spikes at night. He is currently on Onfi, acetazolamide, and amatadine. his neurologist has increased his amantadine. are their reasons as to why his is having spikes at night?
What of Generalized tonic clonic seizure
I believe that my seizures have been caused by my hypoxic brain injury that occurred back in 2018. Since 2018 I have suffered with about 15-20 seizures. That was until I stopped smoking cigarettes whichwason January27 2021. My last seizure was on March 22nd 2021. That was until I started taking Gabapentin and clonazepam for tremors and shaking. Then while coming off of that I experienced a seizure and that was on July 18th of this year. So then they put me on Keppra or the generic version of it. That made my depression way worse. So now they have me on oxcarbazapine. Which for my understanding as an epileptic drug. And I don't think that I have epilepsy. I think i have myocolonic seizures and tonic colonic seizures. So i guess my question is how can I completely stop taking these medications without having a seizure?
I had a grand mall seisuer in march 2014.

I haven't been able to see a heart specialist since I was a teen and can't find one about my heart condition in the state I live in because it's kinda rare. I'm wondering if keppra is hurting my heart. Cause I'm not well. My hands knees feet are purple a lot. They turn red when I feel a seizure coming on. Anyway, thank you for your videos and for replying to me.
I get tonic clonic seziures sometimes absent ones I most get tonic clonic seziures
How would you figure any of this out??? Like how tf do you figure out someone’s seizures exactly is pinpointing your cause?? How and how to treat??
I am still trying to figure out how I have 3 or 4 spots on the front of my brain and on the back (on ct scan).... my neurologist thinks its as a result of a motocross accident in the past, just doesn't make sense.
I can't say for you.. But in cases of head trauma.. The head hits the ground or an object then the brain moves in the skull and hits the front then bounces back and hits the back of the skull again and causes bleeding and scars as a consequence and this is called coup counter coup injury
I've miss 1 pill made it up but made me dizzy nausea, I'm depakote so it's a narcotic maybe why.
Hi, what does vomit after seizure indicate?
My daughter also have vomit after seizures...what type of epilepsy this is? Plz help me
I've had epilepsy most of my life my epilepsy is related to my tuberous sclerosis
I think my epilepsy was caused by citalopram.
Citalopram is not know to cause epilepsy
@@DrOmarDanoun what about serotonin syndrome? I spent 4 weeks in a coma and was diagnosed with serotonin syndrome. I was on citalopram and I was feeling unwell on holiday so I took some painkillers two days later I had a grand mal and ended up in ICU. Do you think the serotonin syndrome would of caused the epilepsy? I was 35 when diagnosed with epilepsy never had a seizure in my life before.
Omg! I was on that for few years

Not from the heart but if the same problem is causing strokes in the brain that can lead to seizures

Why do U get seizure after eating medicine ?
What causes cluster seizures
Explained in the video on seizure triggers
I know mine is from Lupus Cerebritis
Why Epelipse Can couses the feet
I have no idea where mine came from. I do get upset when I have one. I have bad habits when I feel one because I am new to seizures. I get scared so I hide from people when I feel one. Even though there is a seizure plan for me at work. I feel I can't trust anyone when I feel I'm going to have one. (That's not their fault at all; it's something I have to work on) At home when I feel one, I stay in my room all day and make sure no one comes in. I had a seizure at work Sunday and my coworker found me in the small storage room I usually go to, to have one. He had to go in there to put some items on the shelf. I trust this guy enough to let myself have one in front of him. He's the only person at work I allow myself to have one in front of. (I try to hold a seizure when I can) I know that me being upset is a trigger for a seizure, so I try to avoid getting upset. Trying to hold a seizure doesn't help me either; I try to let them happen when I feel one and feel better. I don't like having seizures in front of people.
Yes it is hard.. We know that attending to the seizure and stimulating the patient is better because in rare cases the seizure can be severe and cause injuries or even death if not attended to
