It can, I'm epileptic as well and I have to stay on my medication throughout pregnancy which had its own risks. When I seize, I stop breathing for some period of time. Not everyone is like that bc you may have absence seizures instead of grand mal, like me. But the loss of oxygen can certainly be dangerous. You'll need to meet with your neurologist.
