Okay the title got you reading, here whats up
13 yr old boy out of the blue had staring spells at movie, thought nothing of it, bus ride back got worse, could not "wake" him. Spells lasted seconds. When we got off the bus to meet his mom he showed signs of trouble walking. Rushed to ER, spend 5.5 days in hospital, all tests negative and we are all puzzled. Here are a complete list of symptoms-
between 10 and 2 symptoms are worse
Has spells of staring off into space for seconds, may have mulitple back to back episodes.
Will fall over to the left side, have to be careful sitting on chair or bed, will fall off. Feels no pain during episode.
Has massive memory loss.
When "awakens" takes large deep breath and for a second is disorientated.
May not remember five minutes ago during a bad run of attacks.
Has trouble walking, walks drunk falling to the left every time.
No headache or dizzy.
Any comments would be helpful, thanks.
