Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience or knowledge about head injury’s and epilepsy.
I had a blow to my head 3 weeks ago, I didn’t lose consciousness but did have concussion. My obvious worry at the time was that it might bring on a seizure.
The part of my head that I hit still hurts and there is now a lump there.
2 days ago whilst I was at work I started having auras and almost had a seizure. It came on very sudden with no obvious cause. The same thing happened last night and I feel awful this morning. I’m just wondering if it could be linked to the head injury.
I was just looking for peoples thoughts or experiences on this subject. TIA

I think it’s really important you go to A&E and explain the situation to them. Some head injuries can be ‘slow burn’ and if for example you have a bleed it’s effects can take time to make themselves known. Don’t delay, if there are problems it’s so much better to find out asap.
I know it's been a number of days since your post and I hope you have acted upon your situation since.
My epilepsy resulted from meningitis when I was an infant. I believe you must need to have it looked into. There is no harm in finding out that there is no issue opposed to ignoring it.
