Yes, epilepsy can be associated with severe headaches and vomiting, though these are often linked to migraines, which are a common comorbidity of epilepsy. Migraines can occur before or after seizures, and some people experience them on a recurring basis.
One MyEpilepsyTeam member shared: "I've had a migraine now for three weeks; two seizures last week. I go through this all the time, and it's hell." Vomiting can also be tied to anti-seizure medications, as nausea is a common side effect. This is especially true when starting a new medication.
Some tips to help manage nausea and vomiting include:
- Eat small, frequent meals instead of large ones
- Avoid heavy or fried foods
- Drink clear liquids and eat bland foods
- Consume food and drinks slowly
- Avoid mixing hot and cold foods or beverages
- Avoid vigorous activity right after eating
It's worth speaking with your neurologist about these symptoms. They may be able to adjust your treatment or prescribe something to help manage nausea before it becomes vomiting.
