What could cause seizures after drinking, have history of epilepsy?
Patient: ive had 3 seizures in the last month after having got a little drunk in japan before that i hadnt drank for 4 years but before that i had a severe drinking problem and epilepsy, i was hoping that my epilepsy had stopped but i know i shouldnt have drank and i have stopped and will not continue ever again, what advice can you offer Doctor: Hello,Feel sorry for your condition but seems you got the solution.Let me explain; it is well known that there exist a wide group of trigger factors for epilepsy to happen.Main subject here are metabolic disorders which could be caused from excess of drinking alcohol,also high temperature,physical and mental stress...etcIt seems in your case that drinking means seizures, so STOP DRINKING.BUT an appointment with your doctor is recommended to determine epilepsy type, etiology so as to derermine treatment.Wish this helped and feel free for any other information.
