    16 year old girl having seizures don't know why.
    Hi a girlfriend of mine who is 16 years old had 2 seizures in her sleep within a week... she has never had one before.. ilooked up some things online about it but when she went to the hospital they found marajuana in her system and claimed it was from that.. then she went back again and told the doctors she had another episode and then they told her it was a panic attack.. after her other episode last night she was throwing up... so can you just tell me if you believe she is having seizures and why all of sudden?. I did tell her father to take her to see a nureologist (cant spell).. I will tell you that she was shaking she couldn't speak her hands were stiff her father couldn't open them.. her eyes rolled back in her head.. and she was foaming out the mouth.. and these episodes lasted 20 minutes... thankyou for your time...

    She needs to be referred to a specialist.

    Is there any epilepsy history in the family ?

    A 20 minute seizure is medically a potentially life threatening seizure.
    Why wasn't 911 called or any medical emergency help obtained?
    I don't understand why her parents are not addressing this issue.
    Could you give more information.
    This girl should be seen ASAP by a neurologist.
