Suffering From Seizures. MRI Shows Opacity, Heart Issues. History Of Epilepsy. Treatment?

My daughter went to the doctor yesterday, actually the ER because she had a seizure. She has epilepsy . She felt like she was going to have another seizure. While she was there, they gave her an MRI and said that she had opacity and maybe some heart issues. She s going to her primary care doctor today, but can you give me some idea what they re talking about? Thank you.

Hi welcome to Health care magic forum.
Thanks for choosing H.C.M.F.
As you said your daughter is having epilepsy, Her M.R.I. showed some opacity in the brain. The doctors also suggested some cardiac problem with her. The fits appears to be secondary to some organic disease in the brain, may be tuberculosis or some thing else.
She may have some cardiac problem, the opacity could be secondary to the Hypertension, or some other problem of the heart.
If the cardiac problem is treated she may get relief , if there is some organic problem she can have relief by treating the organic disease.
Though possibilities are less if it is only epilepsy should be treated for uninurrepted , and unevented period of 3 years.
Wishing for a complete recovery.
Best regards.
