Can A Seizure Suffering Person Be Exposed To The Sun?

I have seizures. My job wants to make me work outside in the heat. I need to find a Dr that can write an excuse so that I only work inside. When working outside, I get sick and faint. My boss takes me inside and cools me down. Then she puts me right back outside.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
There is no connection between sun exposure and seizures.
So you can work outside even if you are suffering from seizures. You should maintain your hydration so that you won't dehydrate. Otherwise, no contraindication for you.
So drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated. Take your seizure drugs timely. Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
