Light House,

Don't know if this info helps, my sister suffered from seizure like symptoms, but it was a few months after her radical neck dissection. She began having ear pain again and we thought it was perhaps the nerves regenerating after the surgery. She would have extremely painful ear pain and then have a seizure, some of the doctors who witnessed it determined it was a syncope....she was unconscious, but didn't have the shaking and swallowing of tongue danger. At the time we did not realize the cancer was back and causing the ear pain leading to the syncope/seizure. Giving her morphine to control the pain, so it wouldn't reach level 10, helped to control the syncope.

Hope this is not the case with your family member, as a week out of surgery is not the same as months out of surgery.

Wishing you the best,

Nancy
