Hi,
Regarding your concern, I would explain that a cardiac arrhythmia could be related to seizures. But, it is important correlating the presence of seizures and cardiac arrythmia at the same time. Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with your neurologist and performing a prolonged EEG with ECG incorporated.
It will help determine if there is any relation between your heart rate and seizures. If this correlation is confirmed, you should try to treat cardiac arrhythmia. Otherwise, an optimization of anti-epileptic therapy would be necessary.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
