While seizures are commonly associated with epilepsy, they may actually be a symptom of another condition, such as a brain tumor or a heart problem. Our expert team at Sentara will make sure you get the accurate diagnosis you deserve.
When symptoms are not clear cut, our support staff will guide you to the appropriate testing, which may include:
Blood tests: A series of blood tests can help your physicians rule out specific conditions that can cause seizures.
Electroencephalogram(EEG): We will view and analyze your brain activity with this technology.
Imaging: Additional imaging can guide your physicians in identifying the concern leading to your seizures.
Overnight evaluation: Our inpatient epilepsy monitoring unit provides an ideal environment to observe and evaluate your movements during sleep.
