Can Epileptic Seizures Cause Nausea?

Hello. I had a very bad nightmare and i woke up feeling nauseous. It has never happened before. I have been on Depakine for more than 5 years (epilepsy) and it seems to be working fine since i haven t had any seizures in the past 3 years. Could nausea be connected to epilepsy somehow? Or maybe to very bad dreams?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, epilepsy can not cause nausea.
Bad dreams are the likely cause for your nausea.
Bad dreams can actually cause sympathetic over stimulation. This causes hyperacidity and this inturn causes waking up and nausea.
So bad dreams are the likely cause for nausea.
Epilepsy is not causing nausea..
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Think positive and good things while sleeping.
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.
