Absent Seizures

[JayyEmmBee]

Anyone's 4 y/o have absent seizures? Symptoms other than the obvious? How long were the seizures? We have an appt with paeds on Monday, any heads up on what will go on during this?

Hi OP, my DS was investigated when he was 6 for silent seizures. It was noticed at school one day; he had his hand up to answer a question and was staring straight at the teacher. The teacher called his name 3 times and he only "came to" when he was nudged by a classmate. He was referred to the paediatricians as he was also having headaches. They did an EEG and that was all fine. I myself have had these absent episodes (as has my dad, weirdly enough) and I will be doing something and just "go" - it's happened a few times in front of DH and he can't get a response out of me for a minute or so. I don't remember anything about them - DH just says I stare into the abyss!
