7 Triggers for Seizures

Stress

Stress is a major trigger of many mental issues, and seizure is no exception. A seizure caused by stress is quite similar to an epileptic seizure. Both types have some common signs, such as convulsions, confusion, and numbness. Studies have shown that when people are under a lot of pressure and tension, their brain activities can be affected and changes. In fact, around 20 percent of stress-inducing seizures might be misdiagnosed. You can reduce the risk by applying some stress-reducing practices, such as taking a hot bath, meditation, yoga, working out, and playing sports. [2]
