During seizures, changes in heart rate are common. The usual change is an increase of heart rate/blood pressure, though for a few folks it goes the other direction. There's usually a very rapid rise, followed by a lot of fluctuation.

Last time I was taken into hospital it was 140-150 - its generally slightly on the higher level anyways (96 resting) but apparently 140 heart rate after coming out of the seizure is enough to get you a spot in resus (or at least it is in our local hospital)

My last T/C seizure had a heart rate of like 154 bpm when they got my vitals after. I have also just been sitting down, feeling like I'm going to have a seizure, checking my heartrate, and it being in the 150s. Of course my neurologist is now convinced I am having panic attacks or something, but I NEVER had these issues before epilepsy. Plus I don't feel panicked - just that I'm going to have a seizure. I'm also somewhat of an athlete and that's where my heartrate gets when I'm RUNNING. My therapist explaind a panick attack, and she said what I'm experiencing definitely is NOT. Anyway, off topic.
Blood pressure is very low after. I think it was like 60/40 after my last one. The one before that was about the same. My blood pressure is almost always low (highest is usually around 100/60, lowest normal is about 80/60 - or something along those lines).
