Shortness of Breath and Epilepsy

I have been experiencing shortness of breath which would start with yawning as a symbol and then would continue to my arms and face turning blue. with some water and strained breathing these episodes would stop in about half hour and i would become normal. offlate the frequency of these episodes have increased. since i have a history of febrile fits and epilepsy being hereditary in the family will i have an epileptic attack?

Hi,

Genetics does play a role in epilepsy. Certain types of epilepsy are known to run in families but it is not a hard fast rule that if parents have epilepsy the child is bound to suffer from epilepsy.
Your symptoms are very suggestive of panic attacks. I would suggest you to do some deep breathing exercises every day, you may also need medications like beta blockers to control the panic attacks.

Hope this helps!
