What are the most common causes of a seizure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Let me explain: Although the underlying causes of epilepsy are usually not known, certain factors are known to provoke seizures in people with epilepsy. Avoiding these triggers can help you avoid seizures and live better with epilepsy: missing medication doses heavy alcohol use cocaine or other drug use, such as ecstasy lack of sleep other drugs that interfere with seizure medications.
