Seizures and weight lifting-Seizures and anxiety
Tue, 01/31/2017 - 21:12Topic: Living With Epilepsy - Youth
I had my first seizure 6 months ago, After going through a series of EEG, Sleep Deprived EEG, MRI and EMG, fortunately or unfortunately my neorologist was unable to identify the root of my problem, He put me on 300 mg of Dialntine daily, Everything went fine untill last month where I suffered from another seizure, I fell on my left shoulder which I had to go through a 2 hour surgery to get it fixed, Since I was 14 (I am 31 now) I have been a pro bodybuilder. A day before my second seizure I had some issues in regards of my marriage so I was stressed out, the next day I went to my gym for the first time after my first seizure and I had an intense workout session, I suffered from my second seizure approximately 6 hours after I finished working out.It is now almost impossible for me to determine whether the second seizure was caused by me stressing out the night before or it was triggered by the intense workout session at the gym, I would really appreciate it if someone could share their experience.Thanks again!
