What Causes Elevated Prolactin Levels?
I recently had a seizure. My prolactin levels were very high. Now my breasts have been very sore for 3 weeks. I am primed I pause and haven t had a menstrual cycle in months or sore breasts for at least a year or more. Could there be a connection? I m afraid I m gonna have another seizure.

hi
there are many reasons for the prolactin levels to be high,
causes include
hormonal imbalance due to taking pills, stress etc
mass in the part of the brain releasing the prolactin
pregnancy
you need to find out the reason why you have had a seizure most of the time an mri of the brain shows if there is a problem or not
would suggest you get reviewed by a specialist to properly investigate you and sort the problem out.
wish you a quick recovery thanks and takecare.
