A member asked:
I have a rapid consistent pulse in my upper right arm, its also linked to my epilepsy, i just want to know if its a seizure or nerves?

A true epileptic seizure represents a transient alteration of consciousness. Focal motor or sensory seizures may occur as auras, or with or without loss of awareness. Your heart rate may well elevate during a seizure. Discuss with your neurologist about your control and whether your treatment needs modification.
