I Am Suffering From Epilepsy And It Seems To Relate To The Seizures.

my blood pressure is normally 105 over 65, i suffer epilepsy . my chest is really tight and sore so i checked my blood pressure it is now 172 over 116, any sugestions to bring it down please or ill end up having grand mal seizures tonight. im not on any medication for the seizures as they are under investigation, have suffered seizures the past 17 months after a fall, and i usually have up to 8 grandmals daily and up to 16 plus partials daily. i had a steroid injection in my hip 3 months ago, i had 12 days with no seizures (sorry tring to give some background)also my face on my right has dropped, like bells palsy but it isnt, it seems to relate to the seizures, thanks kerry

HI well come to Hcm.
Since your BP is172 over 116 is quite high, dropping the face on rt side if not bells
palsy it could be due to upper motar palsy of lt side of facial nerve palsy due to
devoloping CV stroke, No point bringing down BP only you got to consult your doctor
immediately and if advices submit for Ct brain immediately. You should not wait this
advice is on history base only clinical examination will give final conclusion. Thanks
