Seizure disorders exercise
Common Questions and Answers about Seizure disorders exercise
seizure
ve always (for as long as my memories go back) been inflicted with a consistent and persistent large appetite for mostly healthy foods (just too much of them). I previously combated that with regular vigorous exercise 30-90 minutes per day.
However, in the past 6 years, I turned 30, had 6 ankle surgeries treating a serious injury, had 2 babies, and worked full time. Needless to say, I've been slowly losing the battle of the bulge.
There is no simple, definitive test for a seizure disorder. Often, seizure disorders are diagnosed based on patient history and observation of a seizure. If your daughter had a seizure lasting 30 min., that would qualify for a diagnosis in the minds of many clinicians. I'm sure you'll follow up with the diagnosing doctors and others as necessary. I hope the seizure turns out to be a one-time event.
He had been treated for epilepsy for 3 years without any control, and actually started having gran mal seizures while taking epilectic med Keppra I requested a cardiac work-up due to these gran mals occuring immediatly after exercise. He also had a hx of migraines after exercise, but these had subsided about the time I noticed these Absence seizure like activity. The cardiologist right away said he thought it was NCS, poss with a seizure disorder too.
I am a Type II diabetic (diagnosed 10 years ago) on metformin (1,000 mg. daily) and prandin (2 mg with meals). I have been diagnosed with a heart problem and have been exercising regularly as part of cardiac rehab. I have been experiencing frequent sugar lows, resulting in blurred vision and dizzyness. Last week, I awoke in the hospital after having diabetic seizures. I remember feeling weak and taking some glucose tablets. Apparently these weren't enough to ward off the seizure.
s putting people back on it temporarily to ween them off properly, and then try another method like Tegretol and Klonopin to assist with side effects or having another Seizure, and or also give them meds to prevent seizure period. Similar to what people with epilepsy take who have multiple seizures. I can't and do not understand why a Dr. would put anyone on Xanax for life. Your friend may need a 2nd opinion for her own health and safety. Good luck to you both.
Hi, There are many varying opinions within the medical profession on this, some say light exercise, some say no exercise and so on. Personally I feel anything that involves straining that will increase CSF pressure is not good, one of the risks involved if there is a CSF obstruction is the development of a Syrinx. I would have a chat with my NS about this as they would be most qualified to answer as they know your medical history.
Meaning that if an EEG is done during an attack (such as the convulsion you describe above) and the EEG shows the seizure in the brain waves, then the seizure can be confirmed. In other people, convulsions occur but these are due to stress and not true seizures coming from epileptic activity in the brain, in which case the EEG will not show epileptic activity during the convulsion.
HI,
An epileptic cannot have both a complex partial seizure disorder and a generalized seizure disroder. People with a generalized seizure disorder are usually born with it, while people with partial or complex partial get it sometime during thier life. Generlaized seizures occurr over the entire brain, while complex partial only occurr in a section of the brain.
I have complex partial seizures that occurr in my right temporal lobe. They started from a head injury I got when I was three.
Yes, I would keep pursuing this with an Electrophysiologist (cardiologist that specializes in heart rhythm disorders). Fainting with exercise is not normal. Regular cardiologists often overlook electrical heart problems in young healthy people. These diseases can be overlooked on ECGs unless looked at by a specialist. There are several different heart conditions that should be ruled out on your son. Our family has Long QT Syndrome and my son fainted with exercise before we were diagnosed.
Have a glass of milk or read a book before trying to sleep. Don’t watch TV or do exercise before sleeping. Condition yourself that you can relax and that you can sleep well.
Try yoga and meditation they have calming effects. Go for long stress free walks. Also, do exercise in the daytime this promotes good sleep.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
From what you wrote, it certainly does not sound like ALS. ALS is a degenerative neurological disease, which usually starts with people noticing they are getting clumsy, then weak. It is not a sensory problem where you experience odd sensations of being underwater or being shocked. I think that maybe this is a passing thing? especially since you got a CT scan which was negative, which would have been helpful to diagnose a host of other brain disorders.
(Currently available) antipsychotics can cause permenant movement disorder such as tardive dyskinesia. However, they must wait a period of time for withdrawl dyskineis to pass. From my knowledge atypical antipsychotics can increase the seizure threshold but this effect is generally not permanent. It would be best to see a neurologist who is a movement disorders specialist and have them do full follow up including an EEG (the specific kind to try to set off seizures) and an MRI.
I would definitely take her to the vet, although not necessarily to have her put down. I would let the vet examine her to see what he/she thinks the problem could be and take it from there. Seizure disorders can be managed medically, it's not necessarily the end of the line just because she had a seizure. I would, however, definitely get the vet involved.

Conversion disorders are disorders in which the patient suffers from symptoms of diseases that he does not actually have. The symptoms of a pseudoseizure are almost same as those of an epileptic seizure, but their origin is psychological, not neurological. One of the characteristic differentiating feature of an epileptic seizure is that there is an abnormal discharge of electricity from the brain during the seizure whereas there is no such electrical discharge during a pseudoseizure.
Awareness of your heartbeat is termed as palpitation and it can be due to hyperthyroidism( overactive thyroid), arrhythmias (altered electrical system of the heart), certain medications, heart failure, anemia and low blood sugar. It can be aggravated by exercise, fever, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking and dehydration. Anxiety, fear or stress can cause palpitations. You should consult your primary care physician for therapy. He will examine you and may ask for blood tests and an EKG.
Hello and welcome!
In adults the choice of an antiepileptic drug depends on several factors like type of seizure, associated medical disorders and use of any medications etc.Dilantin,carbamezapine,valproate can be used in temporal lobe seizures.Topamax,keppra,lamotrigine can be used as add on drugs with medications mentioned above.Dilantin doesn’t cause depression but can cause decrease in renal function,headache,dizziness,confusion,double vision etc.
