I was certainly not happy reading your latest post. Over 50 years ago, I had a motorcycle accident resulting in being thrown some 30 feet and landing directly on the back of my head. Torn ear drum and many stitches plus some 6 days in the hospital. I went on to serve 4 years in the Marine Corps and have been relatively healthy all this time. I am now about at the age where you had your seizures. I don't have dizzy spells, but have noticed in the past few months some light headed feelings when I stand up or return upright from bending over. Not always, but occasionally. Should this worry me?

One never knows. No one in my family ever had epilepsy.... so it was not genetic.. Injuries to the head are dangerous as they reappear in the form of .....................later in life. suma... my daughter had a seizure on a business trip in nyc.... she fell backwards on the pavement, passed out and woke up in the hospital she was put on anti-seizure medication, which she took for nearly one year, and now she is off of it... i am extremely concerned because she recently took up scuba diving....something i cautioned her against, but being young, she is convinced this is not really epilepsy, sort of a one off type of event, though, in discussing the situation, we realized she had another event in her early 20's, at the time attributed to heat and low blood sugar she really hated taking the medication because of side effects and feels perfectly fine now....otoh, she felt 'perfectly fine' when she had the seizure... very disconcerting
