I’ve experience vertigo but, never got woken up from it

That's a really important question, and it's great that a neurologist appointment and EEG are already lined up — that's exactly the right next step.

Vertigo itself isn't a well-established direct seizure trigger, but it can sometimes be a symptom that occurs around the time of a seizure, either before or after one. It's definitely worth mentioning to the neurologist. The scar tissue showing on the MRI is a significant finding. Scar tissue in the brain can disrupt normal electrical signals, which is a known factor in seizure activity. The location on the left side of the brain may influence the type of seizures experienced.
The EEG will help the neurologist see what's happening with brain wave activity, especially in that area. It's a painless test that monitors electrical activity in the brain.
When seeing the neurologist, it would be helpful to mention:
- Any episodes of vertigo and when they occur (before, during, or after a seizure)
- How often seizures are happening
- Any other symptoms noticed around the time of seizures
- Current medications being taken
