Seizures??

Could a person who has a history of seizures develop a seizure by not eating enough or not sleeping enough?

you sure could, these are two big reasons you would have one. diet and sleep both effect health directly, and stress to the body and mind.

sleep deprivation can play a big role in causing a seizure and is used for EEG testing. also, watch if ur a diabetic and ur sugar fluctuates. that can cause a seizure, no alcohol also!!!! please eat healthy! Report It

yes, and possibly

if you have a history of seizures, it's best to follow you're doctor's advice and treatment VERY closely and take care of yourself--it'd be really stupid to not eat or sleep much if you have a seizure history

R squared has the best answer!

You reallllly realllly need to take care of yourself.

Not likely. Did you have one? If you did, that would not be normal even if didn't eat or drink anything for a while. Go to see a doctor if you had one.

yes on the not sleeping enough the eating of food never heard of it and i have had seizures all my life

Depnds on why you had seizures. If you had febrile seizure not to worry. Epilepsy possibly.

yes, by not sleeping enough (I don't know why) but I work w/ a lady who went to bed wicked late all the time and got up wicked early. on those days-she'd get like 4 hrs sleep, she would have a seizure!!
"your" body needs plenty of rest, especially when medical conditions are present.

Low bloodsuger and exhaustion place stress on the mind and body. I believe they could contribute to causing seizures. I'm no doctor.

Of course. You need to maintain stable sugar levels (the brain is very sensitive to this - ever seen a girl pass out from not eating?). And you need to get regular sleep. Say no to drugs, too. Especially caffeine.

I personally don't smoke, drink, or use any drugs (except prescribed) and I don't have seizures, but just in case, I'm already doing what I am supposed to do.
