Can extreme heat cause eplieptic seizures
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Heat stroke can cause seizures. Many of the medications taken by patients with epilepsy can also increase the risk of heat exhaustion/heat stroke as well so it is wise for epileptic patients to take extra precautions when exposed to extreme heat.
