I've had a seizure in December and another one just recently, both times while I was sleeping around 5:15 in the morning. I had an MRI and it came back fine, but my blood work showed elevated liver enzymes and a higher white blood cell count. Should I be worried about these results, and is there a chance they're related to the seizures? What should my next steps be?

Visit your Physician for evaluation and appropriate management

I'm really concerned about something unusual that happened today. My friend experienced twisting of her tongue a couple of times at different intervals. We went to see a general physician who checked her vitals and said everything seemed normal. However, he recommended we get an MRI or a CT scan done. Now, I'm wondering if we should also consult a neurologist. Does this situation typically require a specialist? Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

I would definitely advise you to get it checked out by a neurologist in person for further evaluation and management. He will examine you and suggest you further.
