Today, I was sitting at my desk when out of nowhere I had a "silent sneeze attack". Someone in the office called the paramedics because they thought I was having a seizure. This is the third time this has happened this week. FML

Today, I sneezed so hard at work that I farted. In the silence in our open space office that followed, my boss looked over, smiled, and said, "Bless you?" The people in the office who weren't wearing headphones burst out laughing, then those people noticed the laughter, took their headphones off, and my boss then had to explain to them why they were laughing.

Get a heart attack next time, they wont believe you.

Exactly what I was thinking. Kind of setting up a "boy who cried wolf" situation with the paramedics. Hope they don't ignore any real emergencies you might have in the future.

They say the silent sneeze attack is deadly. On the serious side OP, it was just a mistake. Talk to your coworkers about the "seizures" you are having. I'm sure they will understand.

At least your coworkers are looking out for you.

Right? Too many people nowadays are only concerned with their own lives and won't take the time to help someone else in need.

Well at least your coworkers are worried about you.

Let's hope you don't ever get a real seizure and end up in a boy-who-cried-wolf kind of situation.

You'd think they'd know better by now.

The skip the "are you all right" straight to a 911 call

Well, if you think someone is having a seizure, you don't have the time to stop to ask if they're OK. It's a life or death situation.

If they can talk and say, NO, I'm Sneezing! then they're not having a seizure and you don't have to take 911 services away from people who really need it. Also, 3 times in one week and your coworkers keep calling 911? Are they...um...slow?

It might have been different coworkers calling 911 each time. It's also entirely possible to develop a seizure disorder suddenly and without knowing.
