Two EEG's 2 Different findings one in Oct one Sept?

 first one completely normal then this one. this is the second one. it was done in 2015. I don't have health insurance anymore I was wanting to know if this can prove if I have Absent Seizures. Because I know I am having absent seizures. the freezing like a statue my eye site becomes blurry it lasts for 20 secs. Had MRI no brain tumor. Was hit by a car when I was 4 fractured skull.  because another EEG without health insurance would be too expensive for me. I am hoping the pic. will show up big enough to read.

    That is also a normal EEG. ''Photic stimulation produced a photic driving response'' is a normal phenomenom and ''hyperventilation producd a diffuse rhythmic slowing of the background activity'' is a nonspecific finding that could be caused by low blood sugar or any sedating medication you were taking at the time. 

    Absence seizures usually only last a couple of seconds but can last a maximum of 15 seconds and involve a loss of consciousness. If you were having absense seizures your vision wouldn't be blurry, you'd be unconscious and oblivious to the seizure while it occurred. 

    You're most likely experiencing non-epileptic seizures caused by anxiety or past trauma. The treatment is antidepressants and counselling or therapy not anti-convulsants.

    Source(s): I have a history of both absense seizures and tonic clonic seizures.
