Hello, My name is Danny I am 27 and have been dealing with seizures since 2004. Never before that date have i had one sigh of seizures. it has been one of the worst and hardest battles i have been dealing with also. one questions i have is that the seizures i have are weird, starting like this all the seizures i have had to this day were at night after i had woken up from sleeping, i would wake up have to pee and in a sweat which is weird.  also i have never had any during the day but i have had several grand mal seizures at night like i said. so if anyones has any ideas why this happens please let me know and hope all of you are doing better with your epilepsy.

OMG exactly like you I only have them when I wake up at night, never during daytime. I too got a heart arrhythmia at the same time and had to get an ablation

  It i the same here, I always get seizures at night.  But now I think it may be apnea, I will get the result of rearching next days.  It is lack of oxygen.......then I have seizure.  You could ask the doctor for research, if this should be because  apnea, which is disturbing you.    Good greetings to you, from me and my country in North   -  Iceland---

Hello North Island,

How often are you having seizures? I am having them about once a month and when I wake up afterwards it takes me a while to breath cause of the lack of oxygen. How about you?
