25
[blackouts]: how can you distinguish between epileptic jerking and twitching from hypoperfusion
Only epileptic jerking has a tonic phase (contraction) prior to the clonic (cyclic relax/contract)
26
[blackouts]: If the patient is 'sleepy' what may be the cause of the drop attack
narcolepsy
27
[blackouts]: ... may cause blackout, but rare in non-diabetics
hypoglycaemia
28
[blackouts]: inadequate vasomotor reflexes can cause ... which causes blackout
orthostatic hypotension
29
[blackouts]: how would a panic attack present (2)
Hyperventilation
| light headedness
30
[blackouts]: do you LOC in panic attacks
no
31
[blackouts]: During eating, cyanotic suggests
choking
32
[blackouts]: cyanosis suggests (2)
epilepsy
| choking
33
[blackouts]: paleness during a flushing post suggests
stoke adams
34
[blackouts]: who and in what circumstances does micturition syncope occur
Men
| at night
35
[blackouts]: amnesia post LOC suggests
epilepsy
36
[blackouts]: drop attacks may be due to cataplexy. what is this
muscle weakness from strong emotions
37
[blackouts]: muscle ache post attack suggests
epilepsy (tonic clonic)
