I had one seizure in Feb. and the neurologist said it was a quirk. In November I had 2 seizures 3 hours apart. Both were while sleeping.

Are you on any meds? Have you recently started taking any medication of any type? My son started having seizures at the age of 17 and we couldn't figure out why. The doctors ran many tests and they all came up with nothing.

Once he stopped taking the meds he has never had another episode.....just a thought.
