Ouch! I hope you are feeling okay!
If you don't have epilepsy, a head injury can trigger a seizure and possibly epilepsy.
If you already have epilepsy, a head injury can be a seizure trigger as well, since you have a lowered seizure threshold. So in a way it is epilepsy-related.

Hi naenae, sorry about your accident. I'm sure you're feeling horrible with a headache, to boot. Take it easy and get lots of rest. If you can get in to see your regular neurologist or primary doc, I would do that to discuss your injury. I agree with Nak, it's epilepsy related since it's the E that caused the seizure. I hope you get to feeling better soon!
