Fit - chickenpox and Neuro

Hi.. im from Srilanka. This is about my sister. She is 23. Before 1.and half month back she had a headche continuously  and channeled a Neuro physician Doctor. He checked all brain Reports such as scan, blood report...etc. and all were normal and nothing was wrong. and he gave medicins. after 2 weeks she had few marks and it was chicken pox. after 1 month of chicken pox suddenly she had a bad fit. Doctor was saying it was something to do with Migraain. is that correct? or can you please let me know. some doctors says its something to do with chicken pox as she took medicine for chicken pox(to reduces patches)

please help me. is that what we call epilepsy? but she never had a fit like that. is it s dangerous situation? what will u recommend

Hi,

How are you?
Which medication did she take to reduce patches of chicken pox?
Migraine is a vascular headache; it is usually one sided throbbing headache. Migraine is usually preceded by an aura in which the patient may get visual and auditory symptoms like tunnel vision, photophobia and ringing in the ears.
It is usually treated by Imitrex and can be triggered by certain foods like chocolates, processed meats, and Chinese foods.
Migraine can result in dizziness and fainting and seizures. Please consult a specialist and let me know if you need more information. Take care!

Hi,

Since she is already on epileptic medication and still getting seizures, may be she needs an alternate drug or maybe an iv antiepileptic.
There are many antiepileptic medications available which can effectively control seizures.
You can discuss this with her neurophysician.
Please do not be scared, just make sure that you continue with the treatment. Keep us posted!
