For some people flashing lights can cause seizures. A persons heart may beat fasy during a seizure tooBut there may be other reasons for yur episode. If this happens again then by all means discuss this with your PCP I know about th heart beating too fast since I had an irregular heart beat, That heart beat changed to intermittant a-fib and intermittant a flutter. It then changes to A-fib with intermentant A-flutter Since I don't have seizures caused by flashing lights or changes in light I can't tell you what happen in thise seizures. I hope this helps. Joe
