Epilepsy can be frightening, unpredictable, and disruptive — whether it causes brief “blank” moments, sudden jerking movements, or full seizures. If you’ve had even one unexplained seizure, it’s important to get evaluated by a neurology specialist.
At Consultant Corner, we diagnose the cause of seizures, create personalized treatment plans, and help you regain safety, confidence, and control.
Seizures can look very different from person to person. You may need an evaluation if you’ve had:
🟣 Sudden “blank staring” or unresponsive moments
🟠 Repetitive movements (lip smacking, picking at clothes)
🔵 Jerking or shaking of arms or legs
🟢 Loss of consciousness or blackout spells
🟤 Strange sensations (smells, tastes, tingling, déjà vu episodes)
🟣 Sudden confusion or disorientation
🔺 Unexplained falls or collapses
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological condition where the brain produces sudden bursts of abnormal electrical activity — causing recurrent, unprovoked seizures.
But not all seizures mean epilepsy. We evaluate:
- Epileptic seizures
- Non-epileptic episodes
- Fainting vs seizure events
- Metabolic or medication-related spells
- Sleep-related seizure activity
- May cause tingling, jerking, emotions, déjà vu
- May or may not involve loss of awareness
- Tonic–clonic (grand mal): stiffening, jerking, collapse
- Absence: brief staring spells
- Atonic: sudden loss of muscle tone (“drop attacks”)
- Myoclonic: quick body jerks
- Tonic/Clonic only: stiffness or rhythmic jerking
Getting help early can:
- Prevent future seizures
- Improve safety and reduce injuries
- Allow driving clearance sooner
- Improve focus, energy, and daily functioning
- Lower long-term complications
- Identify treatable causes (tumors, infection, metabolic issues, stroke)
We offer comprehensive, expert seizure and epilepsy care, including:
Thorough review of symptoms, triggers, and medical history.
To identify abnormal electrical brain activity.
To rule out tumors, stroke, scarring, or structural causes.
Based on seizure type, age, lifestyle, and safety needs.
VNS, RNS, epilepsy surgery referral if needed.
Stress, sleep, medication adherence, driving rules, activity restrictions.
Because seizures shouldn’t wait.
Call 911 if a person:
- Has a seizure lasting >5 minutes
- Has repeated seizures without waking
- Is not breathing or turning blue
- Is injured during a seizure
- Has fever or severe headache with seizure
- Experiences a first-time seizure
Whether this is your first seizure or you’ve lived with epilepsy for years, we’re here to help you get answers, stabilize symptoms, and regain control of your life.
