Keeping sinuses clear is crucial -- our Jonathan ended up in ICU for 4 days back in 2011 when a sinus infection triggered 36 tonic-clonic seizures in one weekend. I'd taken him to the doc twice in the previous week to have his sinus infection treated, and the idiot pediatrician kept telling me it wasn't a sinus infection.
Even if you live in an area where the air quality is usually pristine, the pollen in the Spring can be hard on sinuses (that's when Jon had his problem). Air purifiers are a great idea for anyone with epilepsy. We use one in Jon's room, and one in the living room.
Hey Mr.21T
Could you please tell me about your exercises for increasing lung capacity. I'm interested in that.
