I'm Having Seizures When Laying Down Sleeping, Will It Also Cause Alzheimer's As You Get Older??

By having seizures does it cause Alzheimers?

@LoriLakaris , I don’t know that it can technically cause “Alzheimer’s” but you’ll find many of us on here have memory issues, some more than others. I was in Special Ed math when in grade school & went to a special room for those with disabilities to take all my tests, no matter the subject. I don’t do some things as quickly as others. But you’ll find others on here who are frustrated with memory problems. Some memory issues could possibly have to do with the medicine you’re on & so you could ask your doctor if you want about that. Welcome to the site! Your friend in Texas, Becky

Not necessarily although most people have a little Alzheimers and Dementia over the age of 70. It's something we worry about especially with our memory issues. I take alot of brain health supplements.
