Night seizures or sleepwalking?

Posted , 5 users are following.

my daughter is 10, ige epilepsy, photosensitivity, abscence seizures. She takes 25mg lamortogine twice daily.

she has episodeswhere she sits up in the night, she can answer questions, but is not with it. She will the pick and pick and her covers probably lasting less than a minute.

does this sound like she is having night seizures? Or is it sleep related?

her day seizures which are abscence i can recognise easy enough.

thank you

    If your daughter is photosensitive to light, that may be a sure sign of epilepsy. As to having problems at night, it’s possible that it may be related to low blood pressure (lack of oxygen to the brain) and sugar levels. On one visit to my Dr, my blood pressure was below a 100. He took it twice with the same results. The third time, he had me stand up and my blood pressure was just barely over a 100. He was happy. Didn’t explain night time auras though. Thought if I went to bed 5 minutes earlier of 5 minutes later, I wouldn’t have experienced auras. I don’t think the timing of going to bed had any difference. In my case, I think it was low blood pressure when I went to bed that caused the auras.
