“husbands new onset seizure and agression”
Hello,
3 months ago my husband had a seizure while we were moving. He was loading furniture by himself and he got very angry then had a seizure and was unconcious for about 3 minnutes but never stopped breathing. He went to the ER and all the workup ( CT scan, blood work, urine, ekg) was all normal. He has not had any seizures since, but he now has abnormal emotions. He gets very mad very fast and i can not calm him down, the anger then turns into sadness and he cries a lot. He is very frusterated with this as its causing alot of anxiety at home with the anger, and hes affraid this may happen at work since he seems to have no control. My question is will this even get better? He does not want to go to therapy but im trying to convince him that it may be best. He has DM2 and HTN but no other medical conditions, hes 38 and weighs 230 pounds, non smoker doesnt drink much. We still cant figure out why he had a seizure and if he is at risk for another one, but the biggest battle right now is the anger. He goes from 0 to hulk in seconds over very minor things that would have never bothered him before. I am a nurse but i am at a loss on how to help and why this is happening. Thank you so much

He needs to see a Neurologist, have an EEG ( Electroencephalogram) done and an MRI ( Magnetic Resonance Immaging ) done to further determine what is going on with him. He may have micro vascular disease in the fronto temporal regions due to his HTN and DMT2 and the CTscan may not show this. Good Luck. Dr.F. Sent from AOL on Android
I think this is 2 issues, not necessarily related. The first is the new
Hello and sorry to hear about what is happening with your husband. It is advisable for your neurologist to schedule a brain MRI for your husband, given his recent seizure and erratic behavior, which may stem from an issue in his frontal lobe. An MRI with contrast would help determine the presence of any mass that may not have been visible on the CT scan. Furthermore, if your husband has a history of multiple concussions, this could also influence his behavior, although it doesn't fully explain the acute onset seizure. Therefore, I recommend a brain MRI with contrast, considering both his behavioral changes and the occurrence of a seizure.
