YOUR CONCERN. A CLEARER CONVERSATION.

Episodes of shaking, loss of awareness or unusual sensations need a clear history and appropriate medical assessment.

Before a planned visit, ask which specialist should assess your concern and which existing reports to bring. You do not need to know the diagnosis to ask for help.

Seek emergency help for a first seizure, one lasting more than five minutes, repeated seizures without recovery, breathing difficulty or serious injury. Follow an existing emergency care plan when available.
