A member asked:
What do you suggest if my girlfriend recently told me that she's epileptic,what might trigger it and what do i do if it happens?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ask her: There are many kinds of seizures. Some require little or no care afterwards. Others require more. Triggers are somewhat specific to each person, though skipping meals, sleep loss, getting sick are common ones.
