Hello,
Your wife is known epileptic and hypertension , this ghange of body temperature cannot be explained with antiepileptic drugs.second thing she has high blood pressure , ask her whether she has any difficulty in talking and sensory symptoms in face. If symptoms are not there ask for any sphincter disturbances.and weakness in limbs She requires detail evaluation by neurologist clinically, including BP control and based on her symptoms she requires imaging studies either of brain or cervical spine .Meet your nearby neurologist .Bye
