327385 tn?1378360731 Stress can indirectly also affect patients with seizure. It causes an increase in cortisol levels which influences seizure activity. Have you been investigated for your seizures? What medicines have you been taking? If you have been taking antiepileptic regularly then seizures should be controlled. You need to discuss with your neurologist if any dose adjustments of your antiepileptic drug needs to be done or any alternative drug needs to be taken. Hope it helps. Take care and good luck!

Avatar f tn I suffer from gran mall seizures When I had my first seizure a doctor at the hospital said my seizure was caused by stress. Which I didn't think was the case and after further tests it turned out I have epilepsy caused by scarring From some earlier surgery. Just wanted to let you know, that seizures can be caused by stress. I've even seen it listed as one of the trigers for bringing on a seizure. Fatigue can also contribute to seizures.

Avatar f tn I would definitely have an EEG done to see about seizure activity. I have had a seizure disorder for the last 26 years. Most of the time mine were absence seizures. Unless people knew what they were looking for, they had no clue that I was having a seizure.
Avatar f tn s a vascular problem, where some kind of stress causes constriction of the blood vessels and when they reopen the large ones near the head open first and you get the migraine. It doesn't sound like they have yet found the cause. There are many medications used for both seizures and for migraines. I'd probably at this point talk to the neurologist if he hasn't explained what he found well enough, and if it doesn't sound like he's your guy, see a better doc. Peace.
Avatar f tn Ever since my Neurologist started taking me off my anti seizure meds, I've started getting these brain spasms, I guess you could call them that anyways. They only happen on days I'm not on my meds. For example, last week when I tried not to take my meds for the first time, I had a really bad brain spasm where my entire brain kinda froze, and my body jolted and I dropped everything I was holding. I had many more of those and had to go home from school.

Avatar n tn Many people experience a once off seizure (I think it's something like 1% of the population) Were you doing anything at the time that could have triggered it? The only thing you can do at the moment is wait for the EEG results and that will determine where you will go from here.

452529 tn?1361847855 I am taking 3 types anti-convulsion medication (teg, dil, depakote) I also take dalmane for insomnia and klonipin for what I called the "jerks". Turns out the jerks was dx'd as juvenile myoclonic seizures. The neurologist is trying to convert all my medications into one, depakote. It took the state hospital 2 years until I was on the right medications and the correct dosage. I slept alot, as far as friends...well they just faded away.
Avatar m tn I have a friend who had a random seizure one morning after she had been vomiting and had diarrhea all night before. She also had not been sleeping well or at all some nights the whole month before. I took her to the emergency room and she had blood work done and a CT scan done both came back just fine. The doctor told her it was probably that she was dehydrated, and had lack of sleep that put too much stress on her brain. He also told her to consult a family doctor.
Avatar m tn If GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter, how does diazepam can cause anti-depress? I heard that it can treat seizure? Seizure is a disease that is over-stimulation, repetitive, uncontrolled neuronal firing in CNS. May I know how does it treat seizure? Thanks.
Avatar m tn 00PM on Monday to have her nails trimmed and she had a seizure, presumably due to the stress of the situation. This was the first time she has ever had a seizure. Then she had another on Tuesday morning at around 9:00AM, then another on Tuesday night at around 7:30PM, then another on Wednesday morning at about 7:00AM. We took her to the vet on Tuesday morning after her 2nd seizure for blood work to check for possible causes.

Avatar m tn I don't think people who have a seizure remember the seizure, but he definitely had something. Maybe it's a thyroid problem. He needs to be seen, but an ER is the slowest, most expensive and least efficient way to do it.
Avatar f tn It is important to accurately describe the seizure, timing of the day the seizure occurred and also in what setting. Then the question arises if the seizure should be treated – this is answered by looking at the risk and benefits of having a recurrent seizure and the side effects of the antiepileptics. Ultimately, the workup will need to identify the cause of the seizure. Is it from an intracranial lesion, an epileptic syndrome, stress, etc? You will need to have neuroimaging performed (i.e,.
Avatar f tn Could stress create a seizure? If the MRI and EEG are normal, what should we do next? Could the decrease in vision be a symptom from a possible tumor?
Avatar n tn Hi, Thank you very much for your question; although it is quite difficult for me to give you a precise diagnosis here without being able to examine you, though I would try to provide you some relevant information about your health concern. You need a proper assessment and investigation here since there can be many causes for memory loss & concentration impairment.

His heart would also need an evaluation, since syncope can appear as a seizure. Other causes of seizures are abnormalities in the brain either from trauma, or a lesion in the brain.
