[QUOTE="Momslittleangels, post: 45676, member: 905"] If it was some sort of seizure, how would the doctor know after the fact? And is it normal for a seizure to last almost 30 minutes? I thought they usually lasted a couple of minutes and then the person falls tends to fall asleep. As for calling the PCP, I wouldn't think that they would be too "up" on neurological stuff, but maybe I'm wrong. Is it better to go to someone who would be able to do the test (i.e., Neurologist) or can a PCP do it? My daughter has no patience for doctor's offices and if we go to her PCP and they just do routine stuff and refer her to someone else, it will be a waste of time (in her eyes). On the other hand, maybe I'm not giving them enough credit - - I just need to know that this isn't a medical emergency, per se, in case it happens again. We came so close to calling an ambulance, but it sounds like if it was a panic attack, there isn't much they can do about it anyway. It was very scary and I would like to get to the bottom of things quickly (don't we all)!! Sara PA: I'm glad you saw this, since you know a lot about seizures - - I was hoping you were still around. Have you ever heard of seizures lasting so long (1/2 hour)? [/QUOTE]
