MIGRAINES & HEADACHES COMMUNITY
migraines with sleeping seizures

migraines with sleeping seizures

I am 36 & have had migraines since I was 21. I recently was diagnosed with sleep apnea, about a year ago. Almost 6 months ago, I started having seizures only when I have migraines & only when I sleep. The doctors thought I had epilepsy @ first & then thought it was due to the migraines. After seeing one that my husband recorded, they are not sure what the cause is. They seem to be localized to one side of my body, grand mal in type, with eye fluttering & eyes roll back into my head at the end.Sometimes i do vomit & have incont & once I have chewed my tongue.

Dear Sleepgirl123

I suggest you go and see a neurologist a.s.a.p.  and go for an MRI.  To have any kind of seizure is not normal!  Insist on an MRI.  

I also had severe migraines and insisted on an MRI.  The MRI showed that I have a large pituitary tumor.  

Please go and see a neurologist a.s.a.p.  

Ask your neurologist to prescribe EPLEPTIN 300MG and NEUREXAL 100MG
This medication is for epilepsy and severe migraines.  I am on both of these medications for 3 months now and they are great!!  My headaches are not as severe and often as before.  

Please let me know when you went to the neurologist.  

Kind greetings Chantelle

I am seeing a neurologist. I take 2 different migraine preventetives & 2 different seizure meds 2 times a day. They are not working. My doctor is setting me up for video monitoring at a leading university research hospital to try & find answers. I have had EEG, ct scan & MRI with no real answers. Is there anyone else out there like me?
