Carbon monoxide and epilepsy
Sun, 05/06/2007 - 21:47Our family was exposed to low-level chronic carbon monoxide over this past winter. We discovered it when my 13-year-old son started having seizures. The rest of us were just experiencing heart palpitations, headaches, tiredness, and general dopiness.
Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone had heard of carbon monoxide poisoning precipitating seizures, any outcome advice, treatment advice, or input on where to go for info on this?
Thanks!
Kim

I know this question was from a while ago, but I can confirm that it is possible. 3 Weeks ago i had 2 grand mal seizures which were caused by carbon monoxide poisoning .
