Hello,

Thanks for the query,

I understand your problem

Let me tell you that the causes of seizure are many and in your case it is related to the stroke that you had earlier. Some patients can have seizure immediately after the stroke while others may develop years later. These types of seizures are called as post-stroke seizures which happen due to the scar formed in the brain because of the stroke. How ever, you need not worry as it is treatable and you will improve.


Hope this clarifies
Best wishes
