I would say "YES" that having seizures could lead to having Panic Attacks.
AND also the "Other way around"~ That having panic Attacks could lead to having GrandMAL Seizures.
Having Type II Diabetes & Epilepsy can lead to "very stressful episodes"
I have Type II & Epilepsy and find Imust keep relatively calm so that I don't get sick.~~ IT also doesn't help havingChronic Migraines.

Yes. Some seizures mimic panic disorder/attacks. Also with my seizures my blood sugar drops. Have you had your blood sugar checked? I also look or feel like I’m on an acid trip and I have severe allergies. Please get your sugar checked and go to a dermatologist to see if allergies could also be triggering your seizures. I hope this helps 💛

YOU guy have to learn to "Stay as calm as you can"
Otherwise you will have "Panic Attacks that will bring on Seizures"
