After a first seizure, it is recommended to see a neurologist. There is a standard approach to dealing with this. One seizure alone is not a diagnosis of epilepsy. There is appropriate testing, and a discussion of treatment needs to occur. Each case requires an individual assessment.
Seizures can be caused by many different types of problems. Often after testing no cause can be found, but you can still be at risk of having another one at any time. If one should occur while driving or working somewhere high the result could be catastrophic.
You need to see your family doctor or go to an emergency room to start having tests done and a decision made about whether you need to be on
medication to prevent more seizures in the future. And you need to not be driving or working at heights starting. immediately.
