low blood oxygen triggers seizures

Tue, 09/26/2006 - 01:30
Does anyone have any information about low blood oxygen (sats) causing seizures? My wife only has seizures in the early hours of the morning between 2am and 6am and it is caused by low SpO2 in the blood. Any info or leads will be welcome.

It is possible it is hormone related. Check body tempature before getting out of bed. Have her iron checked to see if she could be anemic. take care Lisa http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/epilepsyapproach/

One year later, my doc is experimenting on giving me 02 24/7 to see if this will stop my sz. It has helped. Not all the time, but ir really has decreased a lot!
