A member asked:
Suffered from 2 febral seizures as a child. was seizure free then had grand mal seizure a few days ago. could panic and stress be the cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Although stress can precipitate symptoms, it would not 'cause" seizures unless there was underlying seizure disorder. A neurologist should be consulted
