Seizures from Hydroxycut
Damage to the liver can disrupt the body's normal chemical balances. When this disruption is not corrected, it can eventually cause one or more seizures. When someone without a previously diagnosed seizure disorder suffers from one, it is a medical emergency requiring immediate professional care.
Seizures are one of many health risks that have been linked to Hydroxycut, a weight loss supplement recently recalled by the FDA. If you or a loved one has experienced seizures or any other side effects of this popular supplement, Hydroxycut seizure lawyers Williams Kherkher can help. Call us at 800-761-3187.
Seizure Symptoms
Seizures are caused by intense and irregular activity in one part of the brain. The symptoms vary depending on the underlying cause, the part of the brain that is affected, and individual factors affecting the person's health. Potential signs of a seizure include:
- Memory loss, particularly the memory of the seizure itself
- Twitching or convulsions
- Sudden and unreasonable changes in emotion
- Confusion or disorientation
- Visual or aural hallucinations
Seizures usually resolve within a few minutes. If one lasts for longer than 15 minutes, or if convulsions last longer than 5 minutes, it is important to seek medical attention.
Seizures do not usually have long-term health consequences unless they are very frequent. However, even one seizure is a frightening event that may require costly tests and treatments. If you have suffered a seizure related to Hydroxycut use, a qualified Hydroxycut lawsuit attorney can advise you about receiving compensation for these expenses.
