ER doc said my seizure was a “night terror and anxiety”
(Sorry if this is the wrong sub) 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. No further testing to find out what happened or anything.
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.
