Having Nocturnal Seizures Every Couple Of Months. Going Through Menopause. Seizures Caused By Hormones?
just looking at the article on the 7 triggers for a seizure. I have nocturnal seizures every couple months. I haven't seen a doc but I live a naturopathic healthy lifestyle, married once, 24 yrs with 4 healthy children. Going through menopause so wondering if hormones may be the cause. Tried ruling out everything else over past 3 yrs. I'll be 51 in January.
I am so sorry to hear about these seizures. Please, seizures need a more detailed description of symptoms to be able to tell whether it is for real a seizure or just an abnormal movement. We also have test(EEG) than can be done to map out the nature of seizures if there is any. Unless you have had seizure disorders before, menopause is not a common cause or a trigger of it as it may sound. Please, get what you have been experiencing looked into by your doctor for appropriate diagnosis and management.
I hope you find this helpful. Thank you so much for using our services and please do feel free to ask for clarifications if need be. I wish you the best of health. Dr. Ditah, MD.
