A member asked:

Can cold sweats be an indication for impending seizures in an epileptic?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: More often, the cold sweats would be associated with risk of fainting or syncope, but could be auras in some cases. Your neurologist should be able to sort this out for you.
