There are two main types of seizures: 1. Focal seizures: these seizures are caused by abnormal electrical activity in one specific area of the brain. They are also sometimes called partial seizures. Focal seizures can be further divided into two categories: - focal aware seizures: during this type of seizure, the person remains conscious and aware of their surroundings, but may experience abnormal sensations, movements or emotions for a brief period of time. - focal impaired awareness seizures: during this type of seizure, the person experiences a brief loss of consciousness or awareness, and may exhibit automatic movements, such as lip smacking or repetitive hand movements. 2. Generalized seizures: these seizures involve abnormal electrical activity in both sides of the brain. There are several different types of generalized seizures including: - absence seizures: previously known as petit mal seizures, this type of seizure typically involves a brief loss of consciousness or awareness, accompanied by subtle movements such as eye blinking or lip smacking. - tonic-clonic seizures: this type of seizure, previously known as grand mal seizures, involves loss of consciousness, muscle rigidity and convulsions. - myoclonic seizures: during this type of seizure, the person experiences rapid muscle jerks or contractions. - atonic seizures: during this type of seizure, the person experiences a sudden loss of muscle tone, causing them to fall or collapse. In addition to these types of seizures, there are also other less common types, such as infantile spasms and febrile seizures, that may occur in specific age groups or in response to certain triggers. It is important for individuals to receive an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment for their specific type of seizure.

Spo2 is not an accurate representation of blood o2 levels.
Get hemoglobin and abg done for pao2 which is more accurate.
Do contact me for further diagnosis and treatment if you feel necessary.

When I was younger I received trauma to my lower back (fell on a stone) a few years ago my lower back started hurting so much where after sitting for a while standing up straight was impossible until after some time. It eased up a while and whenever I get my period, that spot would hurt. Now I get a numbing in my leg when I sit too long and the other night I couldn't sleep due to a burning sensation on both my legs. What should I do?

Better to visit an orthopaedician for an examination. Its possible a nerve is being pinched and causing such sensation .also, get a vitamin b12 and vitamin d tested.

Asked for male, 23 years old from Villupuram

Hello doc, yesterday after working in computer, suddenly facing a left side head numbness on the left temple and above the left hair and I become anxious. I don’t have any dizziness or vomiting sensation. I went to general md he suggests to take brain mri if the symptoms didn’t relieved after one day. Next day I don’t have explicit numbness but having slight discomfort on left side of head. I don’t know whether it is my anxiety. Past experience: rarely face this head numbness after lying with head high for long time and ut resolves over the time. Also faced a sharp mild pain on left ear three days back after visiting hill station. I’m very much scared. Do I need to take mri? Is there something I need to worry?

The most common cause of headache is bloating. Pain in the ear could be caused due to altitude due to changing pressures. Drink water or eat while traveling to altitudes.

Please practice alom-vilom/breath holdng exercise
start running in morning/exercise this will increase your breath holding capacity.
Secondly if you are anemic and or reside in very hot environment this can happen.
