During a seizure, many things might happen. Sufferers may lose the ability to swallow, have difficulty speaking, experience twitching or jerking movements in the body, and even experience convulsions. They may lose consciousness, see flashing lights, experience visual hallucinations, and feel out of body sensations.

I'm taking Leon 500 and teczine and I'm wondering if they might cause any problems with my vertigo. I've been feeling a bit off and it's making me worry about my condition. Could you give me some guidance on this?

Taking Leon 500 (Levofloxacin) can potentially cause dizziness and vertigo as side effects. Teczine (Levocetirizine) is an antihistamine which may also cause dizziness in some individuals. The combination of these medications could worsen your vertigo symptoms. I recommend consulting your doctor to discuss alternative medications that may be more suitable for your vertigo condition.
