Nah, apparently spinning makes your brain overheat and gives you terrible headaches :> Flashverse science is the best science, and by 'best' I mean 'most fucked up'.
Ouch! Hopefully he stays well within the 'normal' range and this is just one of those weird one-time things.
When I was a kid I had a seizure once that freaked my dad out (from my perspective, I was sitting in bed one minute and in the hospital and groggy the next), and in the aftermath and 'just to be safe' examinations afterwards one of the doctors said it's actually not that uncommon for people to have one major, unexplained seizure and then nothing unusual in that vein ever again (though of course people should always get it checked out just to be safe), so hopefully this is something like that.
Huh, that's interesting, I didn't know that. I certainly hope so, although I wonder if they'll continue to block him from driving if it's a seizure and he just has the one.
Well, keep in mind this was 20 years ago, so the understanding might have changed since then, and the doctor could have been softening things a bit so as to freak us out less (not to mention that after so long my memory may not be the most accurate!), but yeah... as to the driving, I don't know, but I'd imagine there's only so long they can block somebody for something that happened only once (and not even while behind the wheel of a car!), even if they can't find any cause. I mean, even full-fledged epileptics (another thing explained to me at the time was epilepsy is defined by multiple seizures - a single one doesn't qualify) can get drivers licenses under certain conditions
( ... )
And I'm glad your seizure was just a one-time thing, they're very scary. I used to teach a student who had seizures while we working together, and nobody warned me about it in advance.

I hope they find out what happened and that it's a scary one time deal
