Yes, try to stay hydrated with plain water, and take as many cooling breaks as you can. Yes, exposure to excessive heat is a trigger for me. And my doctor said perspiring a lot can lower the healthy salts in your blood, which the seizure meds need to be absorbed into the brain cells and do their work.

I just had my first breakthrough seizure in 10 years because of the heat last month! And I wasn’t even exercising! I hope you feel better soon!

I get a lot more seizures in summer, especially if I'm in the sun for a long time.

Yes, hydration, and try to stay as cool as possible! (Heat is a trigger for me, anyway…)

Keep yourself hydrated all day
