Could Seizures Be Due To Smoking Of Weed?
I was recently diagnosed with chronic migraines and seizures. I have never had a problem until 2 yrs ago when my bf started smoking weed around me and now I have been passing out or having seizures. Could the second hand smoke from the weed be triggering it?

Hello,
Second hand smoke is unlikely to be the cause of seizures. You require detailed evaluation, including MRI of brain and EEG to ascertain the cause of seizures. Further tests may be needed after evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
