A member asked:

I have had 3 seizures of unknown cause in my sleep since october of 2015. the only connection is a uti with no symptoms. any ides?

Need evaluation: to find the cause of your seizures you need a thorough evaluation. consult a neurologist who will have tests including a sleep deprived EEG and MRI scan. About 50% of people your age will have an normal EEG. There are other investigations to be done depending on the interview and examination with the neurologist.
