Does Excessive Masturbation Cause Frequent Episodes Of Epilepsy?
Hi, I am a 29 year-old male and I have been suffering from epilepsy from the past 5 years. The medical course will soon be complete within few days. But only recently I have again been suffering from seizures, while sleeping, since past 3 months. The strange part is that this time seizures occur only in my sleep! When I wake up in the morning I can easily see the after-effects of the past night mishap - VISIBLE TONGUE BITE, EXCRUCIATING PAIN IN MY CHEST AND SHOULDER MUSCLES (probably some kind of gastric impulse), STIFFNESS IN THE NECK, DIZZINESS AND WEAKNESS. I m addicted to PORN and 90% of the times I masturbate simultaneously while watching PORN.

Hi,
Although masturbation is not linked to seizures, looking at screens can be. So, trying to avoid looking at screens would be part of the evaluation. In addition, although it is quite common for seizures to begin during the 20's, new seizures are a reason to have a full evaluation to look for causes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
