Are you experiencing cold sweats and feeling cold, and wondering if this relates to your epilepsy?

Cold sweats and feeling cold can sometimes occur during or after a seizure as part of what's called autonomic symptoms. These happen when the seizure affects the part of your nervous system that controls automatic body functions like temperature regulation and sweating.

Some people with epilepsy also experience these symptoms as a side effect of their anti-seizure medications. Different medications can affect people in various ways.

If you're experiencing new or worsening cold sweats and feeling unusually cold, it's important to mention this to your doctor. They can help determine if it's related to your seizures, your medication, or something else that needs attention.

Keep track of when these symptoms happen - do they occur around the time of seizures, after taking medication, or at other times? This information can be really helpful for your healthcare team.
