Is Being Unbalanced Part Of A Symptom Of A Seizure

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member , Sometimes medication might have something to do with that stuff but also when it comes to seizures & balance issues, I had a weird seizure just the other day where I walked around in small circles & stomped my feet along with other stuff. But the best person to ask is your doctor or their Nurse & you can let them know what’s going on & they can discuss the issues with you. I see you have a twin. My Mom has a twin sister & they have an older brother & sister who are also twins. That’s right, my Grandma had 2 sets of twins & then the youngest is a single one, my other Aunt. Good luck. Your friend in Texas, Becky

Yes! I had that with Vimpat. I was staggering all around. It was controlling my seizures, though, so my Dr. just had me take it right before bed so I wouldn't have that side effect. I am finally used to it and that doesn't happen anymore. as for my baseline? always off balance to begin with lol.

It is, I'm that way & haven't walked straight for 39 years, and getting ready to have my legs operated on so I can walk straight.

I think it's dif per person, I have that happen also, I think it's a combo of stuff meds and age etc, but not a prob as I see it, happens now and then, my opinion

It can be. I have to find my balance after my seizures and my meds affect my balance. That's why they should be checking that at your neurology appointments.
