Brain Seizures. History Of Asthma. Due To Dehydration Or Menopause?

I have started having brain seizures and believe there is a link with going through the menopause. Is this an established connection? I was a severe asthmatic as a child and am still on medication. Could dehydration in the recent hot weather also have been a factor in my major seizure on Sunday afternoon? (they always occur while I am asleep). Jennie

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.

Generally, there is no direct link between asthma, menopause or hot weather and seizures.
Fatigue or exhaustion however, may precipitate seizure in a person prone to get seizures.

Please get evaluated by a neurologist (who may order an MRI brain and EEG) to find out the cause of seizures.
Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
