First Seizure
First seizure – unconsciousness, epileptic seizure, etc. – can cause severe panic to the patient themselves, as well as their relatives, therefore GK Neiroklīnika has organised the possibility of receiving a consultation after the first seizure. The objective of this consultation is to find out the conditions, feelings, expectations of events, etc., with the purpose of performing further examinations and determining the cause of the seizure, as well as finding appropriate solutions for the future. The consultation lasts for approximately 30 minutes. No special preparation for the consultation is required.
The so-called First Seizure Office of GK Neiroklīnika is intended for patients with first-time unconsciousness episode, fainting, as well as the first signs of potential epilepsy, in order to perform qualified specification of their diagnosis and ensure modern therapy and care. If required, the electroencephalogram office, where encephalogram can be recorded, is available for specific diagnostics of the seizures.
If you or any of your relatives have had a seizure, we recommend you to consult your general practitioner or to apply for a consultation at GK Neiroklīnika.
