A member asked:
I've had about 12 seizures and we still don't know what's causing them. can seizures possibly be caused by something wrong with the heart?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Complex issue: Seizures are an event of the brain that may be caused by poor heart function or may itself cause poor heart function. Detailed monitoring of cardiac function before, during and after a seizure can be very revealing, but may still not really answer the question. Careful heart evaluation and careful brain evaluation must both be done. Talk to your doctor about sudep.
