A Neurologist I saw today told me that stress does NOT affect/bring on epileptic seizures. I was always told that stress can sometimes cause an epileptic seizure. Does anyone know the right answer?
I actually think any extreme of emotion is a trigger. Mine usually happen when I am extra happy and in a really good mood.
@Chartlle . Your neurologist doesn’t understand Epilepsy. If he/she thinks that stress doesn’t trigger seizures. That’s one of the top triggers, along with not enough sleep, and stayingwith your medication routine,
You need to find a neurologist who truly understands Epilepsy.
I do believe that stress plays a BIG part.
Yes stress can be a trigger, my neuro told me to cut out the stress and also if you dont get enough sleep that can also trigger them
Of course it affects us!
Idk why/how he became a neurologist..
