Constant seizure aura

I have epilepsy and have had my aura all day without a seizure. It’s super uncomfortable and unsettling. Is this normal? What should I do?

While auras can present without going into a seizure they are still considered part of a seizure. If you have had it prolonged and its disturbing and or uncomfortable you might want to try rescue medications such as Valium , midazolam , clobazam or clonazepam and contact your treating physician for further evaluation and adjustment of your medication. Worse case scenario go to the emergency room and get checked out.  Good luck.  Dr. F. Sent from the all new AOL app for Android
Let your doctor know. There may be another epilepsy medication that will work better than, or can be used along with the topamax
