Epilepsy * barametric pressure

Intresting question. I have never thought of barametric pressure causing  seizures. I do live in tornado alley and have most of my life  Now you are thinking that barametric presure may cause seizures.. Intresting.... All a seizure is is an electrical impulse going off wrong in the brain causing a chain reaction.. Barametric pressure can do many things but a change might come in the form of rain. That rain can come in a heavy storm. At times the storms may have a tornado. I have epilepsy. I live in tornadoe alley.When the barametric pressure get high like it does in a thunder storm I have more problems with my joints aching since the barametric pressure is pressing on my body. I have a skull which keeps the barametric pressure from getting to my brain. So for me no the barametric pressure has had not effected my epilepsy.   What does a change in the barametric do to you???  We are no different. Nior should we be treated differently I can see you are concerned and are trying to think or your daughter but she is just like other kids if she doesn't have a problem with rain or snow or any other thing then she will not be effected with tornadoes.   

A lot of times we try to make correlations to events/conditions for seizures.  From a general perspective "barometric pressure and epilepsy",  I'd think the evidence is lacking.  For specific cases, however, there is a probably evidence barometric pressure plays some sort of role. To what degree it depends.  I have auras as part of my seizures and, on occasion, when major thunderstorms are about to roll through I get a minor twinge.   Not always, but it happens that shortly after the twinge, in comes the heavy storm. I've never tracked the direction of the storm or any other significant factors though.I can't say if it's barometric pressure or atmospheric disturbance.  I've actually gone so far as to track the KP index, the earth's magnetic field, and density of the solar winds during the times I've had auras and seizures. My medication would have been at peak dosage, but I still had seizures, so I tracked those things and there was enough of a correlation in my situation for me to say it was statistically significant that the solar winds played a role in my seizures. The only problem was, I couldn't predict them.  In my case, what was the point in tracking it? As far as a possible reason for your daughter's correlation maybe the pressure change from high to low is all that's needed to excite the focal point for the seizures. Maybe getting details about the weather is a good idea along with the details about her seizures.Just my .02 cents
