What is the chance you will have a stress induced seizure from anxiety trauma? i seen a sis since then i have trauma/anxiety and fear of having one?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Have no Fear: Getting a seizure from a anxiety attack is extraordinarily rare. Stay calm and make sure that you are not hyperventilating (breathing too fast). Too rapid breathing can reduce your co2 levels causing your nerves to become overly alkaline. Excess alklainity than can lead to nerve irritabilty and taken too an extreme perhaps a seizure. Learn to breath through your lower abd. Study yoga, mediation.
