Anti-Suffocation Pillows Discount web site http://www.sleep-safe.co.uk/buynownorthamerica.htm These anti-suffocation pillows are made from a pharmacist in the UK who had a son who had epilepsy. There is 2,700,000 people in the U. S. who have epilepsy and 50,000,000 worldwide. This year another 200,000 people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with epilepsy. Seizures in up to 30% of people with epilepsy do not respond to available medications. New cases of epilepsy are most common among children, especially during the first year of life. The rate of new cases gradually declines until about age 10, and then becomes stable. After age 55 or 60, the rate starts to increase, as people develop strokes, brain tumors, or Alzheimer's disease. (All of these disorders can cause epilepsy.) 25,000 to 50,000 will die of seizures and related causes, including status epilepticus, sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), drowning and other accidents. The death rate among people with epilepsy is two to three times higher than the general population and the risk of sudden death is 24 times greater. Because SUDEP typically happens at night, anxiety and fear of being alone and helpless during a nocturnal seizure may compromise sleep quality in patients with epilepsy, thus increasing the likelihood of seizure activity. So it seems that for many epilepsy patients there develops a cycle: fear of nighttime seizures = insufficient sleep = increased seizure activity. SUDEP have suggested that the person may suffocate from impaired breathing, fluid in the lungs, and being face down on the bedding.
