Hello,
I am a 37 yr old male, who has nocturnal seizures. I have been having them every once in a while for 2 or 3 years. I am waiting to get in touch with a neurologist but it is taking a while.
I did some research and read that things like stress(I am stressed a lot), sleep deprivation (I don't always sleep that great), and alchohol can increase the chances of seizures. I was wanting to get an opinion from people with epilepsy, or experience with it.
When these first started I did have all sorts of tests done, stress test, CT scan, etc. My wife tends to think maybe it is sleep apnea related.
The last two have been 40 days apart about. they use to be further than that but I have also been a lot more stressed, and have had more beer than I should several times.
Any thoughts/opinions would be appreciated.
