9. Seizures: A Hidden Link to TGA
Navigating to our ninth potential cause of TGA, we examine the relationship with seizures. Seizures, characterized by uncontrolled electrical activity in the brain, have been linked to TGA episodes.
Seizures can cause a variety of symptoms, including temporary confusion, uncontrollable jerking movements, and loss of consciousness or awareness. Some patients may experience what’s known as a “postictal state” following a seizure. During this period, they might display behaviors similar to TGA, such as temporary confusion or amnesia.
Moreover, certain types of epilepsy, such as temporal lobe epilepsy, may manifest symptoms that closely resemble TGA. However, it’s worth noting that TGA itself is not considered a form of epilepsy, and the majority of individuals experiencing TGA do not have seizures. (9)
