Seizure?

Philippines

I searched around the web and so far this is the closest information I got. On the night on All Souls day my sister was admitted to the hospital but doctors as still confused about the cause as all her lab test were normal. What happened was her lips and area near the lips turned blue, her eyes were open but it all turned white, she was chilling, very fast heartbeat, most parts of her body turned hard as if she pulled all her strength that you can barely fold her straight fingers. It was the very first time that happened in her life, she is 34 years young. Other thing was, she was never aware that it happened, when she gained consciousness she asked why she is lying in a hospital bed. Did anyone also encountered or witnessed on this situation? The doctor also asked my mother if during her pregnancy with my sister if my mother encountered problems but there were none. It was a normal pregnancy.

That does sound odd considering her age and that she's never had anything like that happen before. I've witnessed a seizure twice before. Once was years ago when I worked at a movie theater. In the snack bar line a child had a seizure. The second time was when I was working for a construction company. I worked in the office. I had only been there for about thirty minutes that morning when one of the installers came running into the office and asked me to come outside and look at something. When I got out there, there was another installer lying on the ground, eyes rolled back, and he was having a seizure. I screamed for someone to call 911. I later found out that the boy had had history of seizures and was on medication that he never took. It is a very scary thing to see. I hope all works out for your sister!

We are not sure if it is really seizure but that is what we have in mind for now until we get the final result from the doctor. On that night before that happened she said she lied down on bed near the room airconditioner which she felt really cold and before she went to bed, she had like a hard work doing some general cleaning. Those were the unusual routine she did before that happened.

ya there are many sub-types of seizures some are very rare that few is known of their etiology. this could happen if she ever had a slight, minor injury or severe injury before that long been treated? this maybe a late complication of it.
