ER doctor said it was “anxiety” and “night terrors”

I had my first seizure and didn’t know what to do and after searching up my symptoms I thought it was best to go to the ER since it was my first one and I was scared. I don’t know if I made the right choice.

The ER doc did a CT scan and blood work both of which came back fine, completely disregarded my symptoms and what I said as soon as I said I was semi conscious during the seizure and remember it happening. He cut me off right then and said “if you had a seizure you wouldn’t have remembered it and you would NOT have been awake, sounds like night terrors and anxiety” and discharged me.

I feel so humiliated like being treated like a hysterical female. I’ve already scheduled my appointment with my PCP but lesson learned to never go to the ER for absolutely anything ever again.
