re: Doctors of OT: I had a seizure last week for the first time of my life

Had my first day around them today, they said I was really pale, made a sound of some short then went straight down and was convulsing for around two minutes

If you were convulsing for 2 minutes then yea that does sound like a seizure. I will say people usually think it lasted longer than it did. When we go out in public we will have people that say someone seized for 2-3 minutes and then someone else who’s a nurse or in medical field many times will come up and say it lasted 5-10 seconds. People do convulse sometimes when they pass out but it’s usually just a few seconds. Like others have said, go see a doctor.

It may not be your first time. If you were asleep or alone you may have had one and not known it. Have you ever noticed you've bitten your tongue or chewed the inside of your mouth and don't remember doing it?
