When should I see a doctor?
See a GP if you think you might have had a seizure for the first time. This does not mean you have epilepsy, as a seizure can have several causes and sometimes they’re just a one-off, but you should see a doctor to find out why it happened. Call 999 for an ambulance if someone: is having a seizure for the first time.
