I've been feeling some weird things lately, and I'm a bit worried. Last night, my sister said I was experiencing jerks in my sleep. Today, I'm noticing that parts of my body seem to move involuntarily when I'm trying to fall asleep. Plus, I've barely slept more than 5 hours a night this past week. Is this something I should be concerned about? Could it be serious?

I've been having some serious concerns about my health. I experienced seizures three times within just 15 minutes, which was pretty terrifying. I lost consciousness and then stopped breathing for a bit. Thankfully, I was rushed to the hospital, and I came to after around 10 hours. I had a CT and MRI scan done, and the doctors said it's a calcified granuloma. I'm really anxious about how long I need to stay on medication. Is this thing entirely curable, or is it something I should be worried about in terms of being life-threatening? And, even while on the meds, is there a chance I might have seizures again?

Based on your diagnosis of calcified granuloma, which is typically a benign condition, the duration of medication depends on your doctor's guidance, but usually, anticonvulsants are prescribed for 1-2 years after a seizure; while the condition is generally not life-threatening, it's crucial to adhere to your medication regimen to minimize the risk of future seizures, which is estimated to be around 20-30% even with treatment, so regular follow-ups with your neurologist are essential to monitor your condition and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
