A member asked:
Can seizures (epileptic or non-epileptic) be painful? can they happen 15-20times a day for over a month straight! non stop! sleeping and awake?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need more info: Seizures in general are not painful and while they can happen multiple times a day there would certainly be effects on your level of energy as well as likely other neurologic deficits that would be clear on an examination. I am also not sure what your are referring to when you say non-epileptic as those are usually pseudoseizures. Please see your neurologist for a thorough evaluation.
