Hi, Your son is a patient of atrialflutter and it might be causing seizures, he is using medicines for psychological problems.
For seizures he is using lot of medicines, and ask you doctor to minimise the drugs for seizures.
For psychological problems he can have injection forms, for every 15 days. or else you can request for change of drug.
Thank you.
