Seizure disorders hypoglycemia
Common Questions and Answers about Seizure disorders hypoglycemia
seizure
many infectious diseases including Lyme disease, endocrine disorders, hypoglycemia, toxins, parasites, cancers, and many more.
Some seizures can cause damage to the brain, hyperthermia (which can effect all organs of the body), can cause additional trauma, can cause cardiovascular abnormalities (abnormal heart function). If the seizure is due to an insulinoma, for example, the hypoglycemia that the insulinoma causes can be life threatening, if untreated.
See a doctor to rule out hypoglycemia. Severe hypoglycemia can cause seizures. So can diabetes. The weird taste in her mouth may be ketoacidosis.Your daughter should get checked for these sort of insulin/blood sugar-related disorders, as well as epilepsy to see whether they are co-morbid, or only epilepsy or something else entirely.
Also have you ever heard of having a seizure and then the BS registers 130 after the seizure. No one was here with him the other day when this happened and when my daughter in law came in she took his BS and it was 130. He was talking but was very sore muscles and a headache, so we assumed it was a seizure because he had not been ansxering the phone. Also after this one he was very confused for 5 or 6 hours. I was two hours away and was frantic.
t find any epileptic tenancies and since it was only one seizure to not worry about it. I know hypoglycemia can cause seizures, but is it likely and what tests can we request from the doctors to try to confirm this (he has tried a fasting blood test of 12 hours and it came back fine)?
Hi,
I'm new to the site and have found it extremely helpful. I have had Type I diabetes for 10 years now, and have never come across something so useful before. Keep up the great work^^
Onto my question. A couple of weeks ago, I was taken to the hospital by ambulance secondary to a "low blood sugar seizure." I have no recollection of a four hour period before I went to sleep, and then 3 hours after I was found seizing and taken to the emergency room.
Most people with epilepsy or seizure disorders can lead normal lives. While this condition cannot be cured at present, for some people it does eventually go away. For many people with epilepsy, it is difficult to drive and participate in some recreational activities. Most women with epilepsy can become pregnant and can have a normal and healthy baby. However, it is important that regular follow-up with the attending physician and intake of medications ( Keppra ) is done.
but will hypoglycemia always show up on a blood test? because when she has had her blood tested, it has been at times when she feels fine. no docto has even brought up a the possibility of hypoglycemia or diabeties or anything. but I just have this feeling the seizures are from her sugar or salt levels spiking sometimes. she often complains of feeling dizzy and gets headaches.
s symptoms which began recently could be diabetes. Initially I thought of epilepsy but now not so sure. He had an inital seizure a few weeks ago after a night with no sleep. He said he felt weird, his eyes rolled back and he began to convulse. Not sure how long that lasted. Since then he has been fine till yesterday and today he has said he felt dizzy and thought he may be going to have a seizure again. Today he said he felt "drunk" and then he ate his sandwich and he was ok.
Hi - I'm new here. I have pre-diabetes (about 2 years now) and have autoimmune degenerative neuropathy (CIDP for 26 years) unrelated to diabetes. I am not overweight, and am 32 years of age. My question is: does inflammation in the nervous system cause alterations in glucose metabolism? I'm currently having multiple daily bouts of hypoglycemia - my doctors can't/won't answer my question. I'm taking IVIG, Imuran and Ultram - no steroids or antidiabetics.
s why I think i may have hypoglycemia. I think my fear of seizures while having my panic attacks comes from me knowing that hypoglycemia can cause seizures. I also occasionally see a little sparkly spot in my vision, and sometimes i see weird kind of sparkly diamond-like patterns when i wake up. My panic always starts anywhere around about 8:30am to 10:30am while i am in school, and lasts anywhere from about 10 minutes to like half an hour. Fresh air and snacks help.
They can be seen in peripheral neuropathies of diabetes, in hyperthyroidism, parasomnia, multiple sclerosis, TIAs or transient ischemic attacks or mini strokes, hypoglycemia, disorders of calcium metabolism, hyperparathyroidism etc. Certain epilepsies too could be the cause (especially gelastic seizures as tickling the neck makes you laugh—it could be other way round too). Consult an internal medicine specialist or your PCP. Discuss these possibilities with your doctor.
m being told there is NO WAY POSSIBLE that hypoglycemia can cause a seizure. I need real advice from someone. They want to lable him as epiletic. Can someone give me advice!
My 8 year old daughter was diagnosed with Hashimotos and sever Hypoglycemia at the same time, is there a link between these two disorders?
The yelping before hand might make you wonder if there is something hurting him that could be causing the seizure, something inside him that the approaching seizure triggers causing him pain, or if it just his way of responding to the approaching seizure? In Idiopathic Epilepsy the vocalizations prior to the seizure are said to be involuntary and not painful.

The drinking afterward could possibly be diabetic related.
It could be epilepsy, but the fact that, from the way you mentioned it, the head banging somewhat woke you up does not point toward a seizure because usually when you come out of a seizure, you are confused, extremely tired, and sore. Also, you wouldn't be able to be woken up from the head banging. Although, the fact that the shower nob held up your head by hair would be suspicious of something more than fainting...
There are several metabolic disorders that can present with carnitine deficiency including mitochondrial disorders, disorders of amino acid metabolism, disorders in the urea cycle, and other errors of inborn metabolism. Problems in the liver can also affect carnitine metabolism
Dietary deficiencies in carntine can also lead to carnitine deficiency. Certain vegetarian diets can lead to deficiency, but well-balanced vegetarian diets may not necessarily.
i was tested for diabetes, and my results were 76 1st hr 81 then 43 3rd hr, they say i have hypoglycemia ? i didnt feel any symptoms when i left.......
It can also be due to severe acidity with H pylori infection and gastric reflux, hypoglycemia, carcinoid syndromes, hyperthyroidism, and sleep disorders. At times cause cannot be found out.
Do discuss this with your doctor (GP/PCP) and get this invesigated. Take care!
Fatigue is a very non-specific symptom and could occur due to stress/ anxiety, inappropriate diet, low blood sugar, low blood pressure, micronutrient deficiencies, anemia, hormonal/ endocrine abnormalities/ metabolic disorders, primary neuro-muscular causes, sleep disorders, systemic causes such as infections/ inflammations, electrolyte abnormalities, a few auto-immune, side effect of a few medications/ drugs etc.
I`m not a doctor, but recently I´ve been doing a lot of reading on the topic and still learning a lot. I know that untreated or uncontroled hypertension and heart conditions as arytmia can be factors of danger of stroke. The seizure is also an alarm you should pay attention too if you aren´t epileptic. If you have a family historu of stroke it is another factor of danger.
Do yourself a great favor and visit a neurologist right away...
about 3 weeks ago i had my first seizure. my fiance took me to the er and they did a CT scan and found a 9 by 4 mm calcium deposit on the right side of my brain. they sent me to a dr that ordered an MRI and EEG test. they have yet to cLl me with the results so i have been doing my own research. going by what my fiance said about the seizure ( i dont remember any of it at all ) that i had, i ahd a grand mal seizure.
I know that anti-seizure medication can affect the blood platelet levels, however I have not taken my Lamictin for nearly two months (cost and unemployed). I have never had an issue with my medication being : Lamictin (200mg d&n) ; Serlife (100mg n) ; Molipaxin (50mg n) ; Wellbutrin XL 300 (m) and Verahexal SR 240. I have sinus tachycardia and MRI shows Microvascular Ischemia. Working with my Cardiologist.
