A member asked:
Recently hospitalized due to 3 seizures back to back. i've been been having the past few years and found out i am low in calcium. how serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can be treated: First, why is calcium low? Is it due to medication effect, or due to metabolic issues. Need to have in normal range, as if too low can cause seizures due to this alone, but if you have epilepsy, will make it worse. How is your vitamin d level? Do you need ongoing anti-seizure drug. Need to extensively discuss with current doctor.
