Verified credentials
Dr. Jitendra Prasad Yadav (NMC 8029), a neurologist at Kathmandu Neurology Clinic & Cognitive Center and National Trauma Center, evaluates first seizures and established epilepsy with detailed event description, triggers, family history, and EEG/imaging considerations when indicated — with counseling on safety, medication adherence, and follow-up planning.
Blackouts are not always epileptic; syncope, cardiac causes, and psychogenic events can mimic seizures. Detailed history of the event and witnesses, plus EEG where indicated, helps distinguish the cause and guide next steps.
EEG is helpful when epilepsy is suspected, but it is interpreted together with the clinical history — a normal EEG does not exclude epilepsy, and abnormalities are weighed in context. Over-testing is avoided when history and exam are clear.
A seizure lasting more than 5 minutes, repeated seizures without recovery, first-ever seizure with severe headache or injury, seizures in pregnancy, or difficulty breathing afterward — seek emergency care immediately.
