Does this sound like Petit Mal?
This is one of those it might be questions. It seems somewhat odd that all of a sudden at 14 you would start getting petit mal seizures for no apparent reason. Why not ask your parents to get you an appointment with a neurologist? They will most likely order an EEG first to see what your brain wave pattern looks like. Seizure activity has a certain pattern and will show up anywhere from 3 days before until 3 days after any seizure. Back in 1984 I had a head injury that ended up with having my first seizure 36 hours afterward. Luckily for me my doctor had me in the hospital for observation. He thought I had a concussion that turned out to be having both types of seizures. I am now controlled by medication, but until a medication called Keppra came out 10 years ago I was still having them. Please get an exam by the neurologist so you can be on your way to knowing either one way or the other. Good luck and God Bless
