I'm a long-time lurker but this is my first post.
My dad (in his 50s) has been taken into hospital after having 2 seizures this afternoon. He has been booked in for a CT scan tomorrow. Apparently he had a migraine all last week, with hallucinations. The doctors have already said that because of the seizures he will be unable to drive.
One possible cause is late onset epilepsy (which may mean giving up work as he has a long commute by car), but I can't stop thinking about other worst case scenarios eg a brain tumour etc. I know it's stupid to be worrying before we get the test results but I'm so scared of losing him.
Has anyone else been through a similar situation?
