Can Epilepsy Cause Over Heating Of Body?
My son gets over heated extremely easy, this happens even when it s cool outside. He s not dehydrated and he is dressed appropriately. Is this a disorder or disease. My son was also just recently diagnosed with epilepsy, could this just be a coincidence?

Hi... I understand your concern. Overheating and epilepsy are not related. But the symptom of overheating you are telling exactly fits into hyperthyroidism. I suggest you get in touch with a physician or your child's pediatrician and get him evaluated for thyroid issues.
