[|Human|] my husband is experiencing spells in which he is unable to move his right hand. He has a lightheaded sensation prior to these eposides and they last between 15 seconds - 10 minutes. He is on Dilantin and we are wondering if it is not working? He was at an ER yesterday and his MRI and dilantin levels were confirmed as fine?
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for writing in. It can indicate that your husband might be having a type of partial seizures. Since MRI brain is normal therefore a serious condition in the brain is ruled out. Dilation can take some time to work, and the response might take few days to show improvement. It is required that he consults a neurologist or an epilepsy clinic for a complete assessment and further investigations like electroencephalogram and a detailed medical history. Should he be taking any medications then these must be discussed in details to know if he is symptoms are related to other medical conditions and medications? Anti-epileptics usually take 15 days for any visible improvements in most patients. Please do not worry.
