Did she have a disease called epilepsy from before? If that is the case it happens because of discharge of uncontrolled impulses from the brain. It should be controlled with medicines and should not happen. She could also have a functional disorder or a psychiatric condition which causes these events with touching/kissing. Need proper evaluation. A psychiatric consultation may help.

Every individual is different. The cause of seizures needs to be assessed and no one can tell how many seizures will be there. However, it's good you are in the hospital. They will be able to titrate the dose of medicine to control the seizures. Hopefully you are under the care of a neurologist.

Vaping can provoke your seizures episodes. As it is addictive for most cases better to quit before you become addict. Also you had brain surgery in past be cautious before using such addictive things. For details, consult online.

We are in confusion what to do still he is getting single seizure in sleep afternoon and morning. Doctors are saying he is fine questions 1. Does it cause any brain damage will he get any cognitol deficit with these frequent seizures until now he is ok? 2. How long he will get these seizures? 3. Next action plan? 4. Some says it is benign epilepsy is it true?

Hello. About a month ago, I had a seizure. I felt like I was going to pass out or worse. I then had a tachycardia for a while. The next day, my chest felt heavy and I couldn't stand. The symptoms changed over time and then started again tonight they calmed down after I went for a walk. But my throat is knotted and dry.
