Doctors of OT: I had a seizure last week for the first time of my life at 29

I'm 29, 6'3", 200 lbs. I run and work out virtually every day, and the day's I don't I'm at work all day.
I do acknowledge that I miss meals frequently and sometimes don't hydrate as well as I should given my activity level but I've never encountered this before.
It happened at work but I denied going to the hospital because when I came to I was embarrassed and in shock, my employer was less then enthused that I denied to go to the hospital.
Is it likely this is a case of simply not eating, being dehydrated, lacking sleep, excess stress, etc?

I’m not a doctor.
But you should go see a doctor

Dont guess, go to the Dr baw. had a coworker had a seizure and it turned out he had a condition where he now has to take meds daily to prevent them. Sometimes its not so cut n dry.
You dont want another one while doing 70 down the interstate ...

If you have no explainable drug withdrawal, go see a real doctor, not the OT.
Obligatory IANAD, but I've done these things countless times and have never had a seizure. See a damn doctor, brother.

It is not from the things you said. New onset seizures need to get worked up. Can’t ignore this one. Go see the doc and good luck.

Imagine you are driving with people you care for and it happens, when it could have been prevented.

Could you feel it coming on a few seconds beforehand?

Anytime you seizure or pass out should be an instant CT. What are you waiting for? The good news it's evidently not an emergency. The bad news is the longer you wait to let something linger the worse some sort of condition can get.

First off, how do you know that you had a seizure? Because the neurologist will want to be convinced it was a seizure.
After you confirm that -
Don’t see your primary care MD.
Don’t go to the Emergency room.
But do make an initial appointment with a neurologist to get this worked up. It will take a few months but you will be glad you did.

You could have a brain tumor or something that would cause this all of the sudden. Not trying to be Debbie downer, but I don’t think you understand the seriousness.

GO to Doctor.
New onset seizures in an adult are nothing to play with. You don’t just have seizures for missing a meal/being a little thirsty.

Exercise has nothing to do with seizures.

Lucky it didn't happen when you were driving. But next time it could, go to a doctor.

Smoke more weed baw. You need to uptake your daily dosage as it is good for seizures.

You obviously are concerned and want answers. Why wouldn’t you allow a medical professional to answer these questions and address your concerns instead of the Internet?

I’ve had two close friends that have what you had. One is fine and was likely dehydrated. The other has an inoperable brain tumor at 42. Go to the doctor and get it checked.

Please don’t ignore a seizure.
You need to see a doctor. You might have to see your PCP first to get a neurologist consult depending on your insurance.

Your Fourth Amendment protections against illegal seizure are superceded by the general public’s right to have you not posing a safety risk to them in general as you now know that you are subject to being out of physical control of your body.
tl/dr: See a Dr., at the least you’re now a known public safety hazard

Definitely go get checked out -blood work, cardiac testing, etc to rule out epilepsy or arterial disease.
