I also get seizures when I'm

I also get seizures when I'm training. Especially if it's a tough workout. But my seizures stopped with the shaking, falling down and tilting my eyes. Now what I do is, be unconscious, but move and talk like usual but do something stupid or say something stupid. Like my last two were at the gym and at my work. At gym I tried to take the dumbbells from a woman's hands , but for some reason they don't want to tell me the rest. The other occasion, I took my pants off at work. I don't know what the people are thinking who don't know the whole story.

Almost one year later, heavy

Almost one year later, heavy cardiovascular activity is most certainly what has triggers my seizures.  It's not an official diagnosis, because my doctor diagnosed me after the more standard tests, which did not cause outwardly noticeable seizure activity; but, riding my wheelchair bike/trike nothing (with the exception of an EPICALLY high fever years before the seizures on my wheelchair bike) has ever caused a noticeable seizure in my case.
