I was bowling tonight and I had an ear plug in my left ear which made the loud music a little quieter. Even though I did that, I still had one while bowling, I don’t know what would’ve caused it except the loud music. I keep sounds down to be more comfortable and less worrying about my brain. I think constant loud sounds have made me lightheaded or given me a seizure before.

Loud noise has nothing to do with seizures, it's more about the types of lights like the types of lights in a ballroom, playing a video game, or sometimes different colored lights on Halloween like on a haunted hay ride, I know because I have seizure disorder, I have had seizures since I was a baby, and I was taught different things like people who have seizures should be aware of certain things like how much caffeine you get from coffee because too much caffeine can make you jittery, no artificial sweetners especially aspartame, that's a trigger for seizures, also a fever can cause a seizure, everybody is different how bad their seizures are, mine have lessoned as I got older and able to do more things.

I had a seizure in the hospital when the fire alarm went off. It wasn't the lights It was the noise! And it lasted for a long time, it couldn't be shut off until the fire department got there.

Certain music, drilling on roads, yellow flashing lights. Different meds really help!

Yes I think it’s stress I notice when my younger kid is constantly teasing my older kid ( the one with epilepsy) he will then have a seizure and well it’s stress
