Electroencephalography (EEG) (cont.)

When to Seek Medical Care

If your typical seizure pattern changes, you should notify your doctor. If you experience any changes in mental status, or any new weakness, numbness, or tingling, you should tell the doctor immediately.

If you experience new onset seizures, an increase in the usual number of seizures, an altered mental status, or a new loss of function, go to the nearest Emergency Department for treatment.
