Thanks for contacting HCM for your medical questions. I am sorry to hear about your wife who has seizures. Most of the time we do not know the cause. Sometimes the cause is a prior injury to the brain like a concussion. But most of the time whenever find the answer to the cause The treatment is to take anti-seizure medications. Your neurologist will choose one that will control her seizures. This may take several days to a week to get adequate blood levels. Once her levels are stable then she should be controlled and able to have a normal life. She still needs to keep regular visits with her doctors and have regular blood work. Hope I answered your question. Please feel free to contact us again for you medical concerns and questions
