A member asked:
What are some possible reasons for someone to develop seizures out of nowhere?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Seizure threshold: Everyone has a seizure threshold - people can increase their risk (lower their threshold) through lack of sleep, drugs, fevers, stokes and structural brain injury. Anyone who is experiencing seizures should be evaluated by a physician who can help diagnose and treat any underlying cause.
