Neurologist Questions

mental related

A few weeks ago I had a convulsion, ever since then, whenever I get up I feel dizzy, my ears start ringing, my vision goes blurry/black, and sometimes I start like shaking/twitching (as if I was having a seizure), to the point I collapse, i feel this sensation of my face/body becoming cold, what could it be?

You may have POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia syndrome) or Vasovagal insufficiency. However other conditions must be ruled out. Have your parents schedule a visit with a Neurologist and have a comprehensive evaluation done. Good luck. Dr.F. Sent from AOL on Android
Its likely to be from low blood pressure, not related to a seizure. When you stand up, blood goes to your feet by gravity, as it does in everyone, not enough to your brain, very briefly. If your blood pressure is low to start with, then you are likely to have symptoms such as you describe. Leon Rosenberg
