Haven't Been Diagnosed
Posted: 04-20-05 19:53pm

I haven't been diagnosed with epilepsy yet, but am scheduled for a sleep deprived eeg next month. I don't know what else these things could be, although I have had tests for over 2 1/2 years trying to find out what it is. The docs thought maybe it was cardiac, and they did an echocardiogram, and they found an aneurysm in my aorta. I had open heart surgery last fall to correct this, but the docs said that it wasn't the cause of my dizzy spells. Btw, they continue.


I just had one about an hour ago, maybe less. I was at work, and got extremely dizzy and lightheaded. I thought I would blackout, but concentrated on not doing that. I still am in a fog, and I hear ringing in my ears. I checked my bp immediately afterward, and it was 138/88. I am on high bp meds.

Sorry, didn't finish my original post, the boss came in!

Does anyone else have anything similar?

Other times, I get deja vu, or see things that may have happened already or will happen, or so it seems. I see what sounds like an "aura" prior to these things too. Any comments from anyone?
