I've had seizures with simple dental work because my dentist uses epinephrine injection to make the numbing agent last longer. I didn't know that. It increased my heart rate ( i already have PVCs ) and gave me clusters. Dentist no longer uses that agent and takes longer to numb me. Also lights are a trigger for me. Bring sun glasses and keep your eyes closed if you need. Good luck!
