I had 2-3 seizures when I was in my early 20's, and I cant think of anything that has caused more psychological and physical damage to my body... Coming in second would be drug abuse. Those seizure days caused so much pain, some of it being long term. One thing that happened was that I had damage to my left eye, so my left pupil is ever so slightly larger than my right eye... Its so small a difference that no one could even see it other than myself! But I went to an ophthalmologist and he was able to confirm this for me. It sucks though because when Im rolling or tripping, my left eye gets blurry.. This could go on for the entire duration of the trip. I would actually see different visuals out of my one eye than what I was seeing from the other eye!!! In order to not see blurry, I would have to keep my left eye shut! It sucks!!!!
werid dan, my pupils are uneven too.
unrelated to seizures, ive never had one

I most definitely suffer from orthostatic hypertension. I have those spasms and pass out almost weekly. Its always triggered from standing up to quickly. I dont know how serious it is or if i should see a doctor about. Hopefully not because i have no insurance. Can orthostatic hypertension lead to any other more serious issues in the future?

My brother had a similar experience though it was far more dramatic and was like a salvia trip. He was 19 as well. It turns out he has Celiac Disease which has been getting progressively worse and worse over the past months. It fucking sucks. There is almost nothing left that he can eat without becoming sick. It's kind of scary.

Suddenly, 30 seconds later I'm on the floor with my head cut up from hitting the table. I remember shaking uncontrollably, but not much more
Ive been sober for the past month, I'm on Accutane. I DID get my blood work done yesterday, and I don't think I drank a lot of water. Ate a very Carb filled dinner last night. Im 19 and in good shape.
First time having a seizure, why did it happen?
I'll be going to the doctor this week to get a professional opinion but I'd like to here the communities ideas
Dude it's not carbs or getting your blood drawn. Go to the doctor ASAP you could have something seriously wrong.

koods said: I don't think you had a real seizure. If you were laying down, and stood up too quickly, you probably passed out from orthostatic hypotension, which is simply your body not adjusting the blood pressure in the top half of your body quickly enough to adjust for your change in position. Often when this happens, people have what is called myoclonus - a short burst of muscle jerking that lasts until blood flow to your brain returns to normal. If when you stood up, the last thing your remember was your vision going black, this is probably what happened.[/flash]
I guess another possibility is that he passed out from getting up too quick, hit his head when he fell down and had a real seizure from the head trauma. Definitely worth seeing a doctor in any case.
