Does it happen that people get seizures caused by anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible, if: If you already have a seizure disorder, anxiety or high stress could trigger more seizures. If you do not have a seizure disorder, anxiety can cause you to shake or tremble but not have an actual seizure.
