Can you tell me how epileptic seizures affect the heart?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Indirectly: A generalized concussion can be associated with increase in blood pressure and increase in pulse. Would be unusual for a heart attack in most cases, but brief cardiac arrythmias have been seen during seizure activity.
