Is it a serious concern that my mother had severe stomach pain, passed out, and had a brief seizure for the first time after taking Meftal 250 mg, and what medical tests should we get done to find out why this happened?
While these symptoms?severe stomach pain, fainting, and a brief seizure after taking Meftal (mefenamic acid)?require prompt medical evaluation, please try to stay calm. To find the cause, a doctor will likely recommend blood tests (checking electrolytes and organ function), an ECG to monitor her heart, an EEG to evaluate brain activity after the seizure, and potentially a brain scan (MRI or CT). An endoscopy may also be suggested to check her stomach. Please have her evaluated by a healthcare professional or visit an emergency room immediately to ensure she is safe and receives the right care.
