HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate you concern and looking to history given here I would like to say epilepsy may be hereditary or may not but the chances are enough if family history of this is there, there is no restriction for diet, the only precaution need to be taken by the epileptic patients are height, water, fire, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
