I had my first seizure last night in over a year. Mine always happen well sleeping so im usually scared when they do happen. My question is, how common are seizures during sleep and what do you usually do after? Sleep the next day? Talk to your doctor? Visit the hospital?
Number 1# thing to do is always report your seizures to your Dr. Write down the seizures on a calendar or an Epilepsy seizure App. It your seizures, seizure patterns change and seizure frequencies change, then let the Dr. know that too.
With seizures everyone is different. Some of seizure while sleeping, some seizure during waking hours, then there are some who may seizure during sleeping and waking hours.
For myself, I usually seizure in waking hours. But, every once in awhile I may seizure during my sleep.
I have sezuires in my sleep at night when am sleeping and also when I take a nap am not aware of them until I see my neroligest and compare my notes to the graph I see on the neropace, VNS. I log when I take a nap and when I go to sleep and when I wake up and when my neroligest sees my sezuires there all on my logs when am sleeping. I'll usually rest for most or the morning if not all day as am totally drained and my mind is in a fog and I have the desire to do nothing as s feel awful and I'll probably won't eat anything all day and write down what happened and how I felt for my notes to talk to my neroligest about. After my surgery for the neropace my sezuires became noctornal.
Throwing up when having a seizure isn't an uncommon thing for kids. The doctor was not surprised to hear this. My mom and the janitor at the school would graciously clean up the messes I made :-)
When I had seizures in my sleep I would throw up.
It’s very common to have seizures in your sleep. When I was little, I would wet my bed after having one, but they never woke me up. There have been people who had seizures in their sleep for such a long time, they didn’t know they had epilepsy. The way they found out was the day they had one during the day.
