I started having seizures in my sleep when I was 13 years old. Yes they are terrifying. It is rare that they’ll kill someone but it is possible. I wanted to share some tips on how to prevent them from being deadly or what’s helped me over the years.
1- find medications that’ll work for you. If your taking a certain medication that doesn’t work, try another. It took my doctors a few different medications before I found a combination that works.
Tegertol and Keppra have worked the best for me.
2nd Make sure, you don’t have anything near your head at night. (Blankets, night stands)
3- Try to relax before you go to sleep. Trust me I know having seizures in your sleep can make your anxiety levels high before bed. But find something to take your mind off seizures. I personally watch movies and Pray.
