Per notes, pt started to feel bad 1-2 hours after. Pt then presented to the ED and was subsequently hospitalized that same day on 5/3/22 following a witnessed seizure. Per notes, he had shaking in the head and upper body and was not responsive during that event. He was in a hospital. He was seen by neurosurgery and neurology there. He was started on Keppra and dexamethasone. He does not recall anything about the seizure but his daughter witnessed it.
