A member asked:
Can a drop in blood pressure trigger a seizure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: When your blood pressure drops it causes low blood flow to your brain and this can cause a seizure. The brain needs a steady state of oxygen and glucose. Most people thought that have a blood pressure drop will have some muscle shaking for a few seconds and this is not a seizure.
