Seizuring that long can be close to danger. I say close , because 5 minutes is when your brain will start struggling for oxygen and can cause brain 🧠 damage.

You may want to look and see if your state carries a Medical Assistant insurance program. You need to be able to visit a clinic for a neurologist and in case of an emergency, you need to be able to go to the hospital without paying out of your pocket. If your not sure , you maybe able to find out through the Epilepsy Foundation in your state. They can find the info and phone number for that insurance program.
