Your not alone, my eeg, and my EKG came back normal until the next I was hospitalised and my EKG and EEG came out with positive Nero activity. I really don't understand this technology.

You could have physiological non-epileptic seizures. They are less common than psychogenic seizures and are often not considered during treatment. My neuropsychologist never even heard of them until I brought it to her attention. I did not have anxiety, PTSD, or any psychological trauma. I did have adverse reactions to medications which prompted the seizures. Psychogenic seizures require therapy and anxiety strategies to heal; physiological seizures just require fixing the problem that is causing the seizures, if possible.

Sort of . There are many cases where the EEG won’t read any activity, unless that person were to have an actual seizure right then and there. If the EEG doesn’t read any type of abnormal brain activity, the Dr. will assume that you don’t have Epilepsy.
