Understanding Seizures Despite Normal Tests

• Seizures can occur even with normal CT and EEG results due to the episodic nature of electrical disturbances in the brain, which may not be captured during testing.

Role of Lifestyle Factors

• Alcohol, smoking, and drug use can exacerbate or trigger seizures. Reducing or eliminating these can significantly improve seizure control.

Importance of Medication Compliance and Monitoring

• Oxcarbazepine helps stabilize nerve activity. Consistent use and regular follow-ups with your doctor are crucial to adjust treatment as needed.

Further Diagnostic and Specialist Evaluation

• Consider consulting a neurologist for additional evaluation if seizures persist, despite normal test results and medication adherence.

Recommendations for Lifestyle Changes and Support

• Gradually reduce alcohol, smoking, and drug use. Seek support from healthcare providers or support groups to aid in lifestyle changes.

Safety Measures and When to Seek Immediate Help

• Learn seizure first aid, recognize warning signs, and seek immediate medical attention if seizures increase in frequency or severity.
