Can a seizure be triggered by orgasm
Tue, 09/15/2015 - 13:15I am a 29 years old, female, never been diagnosed with epilepsy, never had seizures. I have been married before (now divorced) and no one has ever told me anything about it. My current partner has told me that during orgasm I have very powerful seizures, when I stop breathing and my body is shaking, my eyes roll back in my head. He said they usually come in the set of threes. I remember tensness in my body, so I thought he was refering to that, but recently we had sex next to a bed and after orgasm I came to find myself in the bed with him standing beside me. He said that the seizure was so powerful, he almost dropped me and had to roll me on to the bed to keep me from hitting the ground. I do not remember any of that. Is that even possible to be a seizure or... I don't know... is that normal?
