Does Everyone Go To The Hospital When They Have A Seizure?

Only if I'm in a cluster of them(+3 in a row) other than that I need to be pretty banged up! It's different from person to person though, that is a question you should ask your neurologist!

I only call the ambulance if I have a grand mal seizure. That’s the only time I’ll go to the hospital.

Only when I have one outside of my home.

I’ve never actually went to the hospital unless somebody else called and I was injured but if I have a choice it’s a no. I hate the hospital

If I went to the hospital every time I had a seizure I would have my own wing at the hospital. I only go if I am unconscious and someone else calls 911, I have injured myself beyond taking care of it at home, the seizure lasts over 5 minutes, multiple seizures back to back, or when the fire alarm went off at the imaging center at the hospital and I had a seizure and was unconscious 😵 over 5 minutes and they called an ambulance to take me across the street to emergency to ICU where I woke up and had a 48-hour video EEG. Long story short, I prefer to stay out of the hospital 🏥.
