Bringing Advanced Brain Testing to Your Doorstep
An Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a simple, painless test that records electrical activity in your brain. Traditionally, it’s done in a hospital or lab, but with Ghar Pe Diagnostics, you can now get an EEG at home in Bangalore — saving time, avoiding travel stress, and ensuring maximum comfort.
But who exactly might need this test? Let’s break it down.
Symptoms That May Require an At-Home EEG
Your doctor may recommend an EEG if you have any of the following:
- Frequent or unexplained seizures
- Episodes of fainting or blackouts
- Sudden, uncontrolled muscle movements
- Changes in behaviour or memory loss
- Persistent headaches with dizziness
- Trouble sleeping or abnormal sleep patterns
When these symptoms occur, an EEG helps detect unusual brain wave patterns, guiding your doctor towards the right diagnosis.
Common Causes for Requiring an EEG
An at-home EEG may be prescribed to diagnose or monitor:
- Epilepsy & Seizure Disorders – Detects abnormal brain activity during or between episodes
- Sleep Disorders – Such as insomnia, narcolepsy, or sleep apnea
- Head Injuries – Checks brain function after trauma
- Brain Infections – Like encephalitis or meningitis
- Neurological Conditions – Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, or stroke
- Unexplained Symptoms – Fainting spells, confusion, or memory issues
By performing the EEG at home, results are more natural and stress-free, as the patient is in a familiar environment.
What Happens During an At-Home EEG?
When you book with Ghar Pe Diagnostics, here’s what to expect:
- Qualified Technician Visit – Arrives with a portable EEG machine
- Setup – Small, painless electrodes are placed on your scalp
- Recording – Brain activity is recorded for 20–60 minutes (or longer for sleep studies)
- Comfort & Safety – You can lie down, read, or rest during the test
- Results – Reports are shared with your doctor for further evaluation
No hospital queues. No travel fatigue. Just expert care in your own home.
Prevention & Early Testing
While you can’t always prevent neurological issues, early diagnosis through EEG can help manage conditions effectively.
Here’s what you can do:
- Monitor and report unusual symptoms promptly
- Maintain a healthy sleep schedule
- Wear helmets during activities with head injury risk
- Manage chronic illnesses like diabetes and hypertension
- Follow your doctor’s advice for regular check-ups if you have a family history of neurological conditions
When to Consult a Doctor Immediately
Call your doctor or book an at-home EEG right away if:
- You experience a seizure for the first time
- Seizures are becoming more frequent or intense
- There are sudden changes in memory, speech, or coordination
- Severe headaches occur along with vomiting or confusion
- You notice changes in behaviour after a head injury
