What Causes Recurrent Seizures Along With Bowel Incontinence?

My father experienced 5 seizures which resulted in unconsciousness. Two of the seizures resulted in loss of bowel control. Neurological causes have been ruled out. No blockages in the carotid arteries. MRI is normal. He has high blood pressure and diabetes. The have discharged him from the hospital, yet he continues to experience nausea and weakness. Cardiologist is not finding anything and they have him on a heart monitor for two weeks. There must be a cause. What do you recommend we do next?

Hello,

High blood pressure may cause hypertensive encephalopathy also present like seizures. Other possibilities like electrolyte imbalance or alcohol withdrawal or meningitis may be present like this.

Continue antiepileptic, antidiabetic and antihypertensive media. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
