Suggest Treatment For Convulsive Seizure In A Fourteen Year Old Girl
My fourteen year old daughter has had three convulsive seizures in the last three months. This has never happened before. Her menstrual cycle is not regular and each seizure has occurred with the menstrual cycle during the early hours of the morning around 6:00 a.m. in her sleep. We have an appointment with neurologist. All three seizures share common circumstances. What things should I ask dr. about (iron deficiency, low blood sugar, hormonal imbalances?) I don t want to just accept a blanket diagnosis of epilepsy when there may be specific causes that could be remedied.

hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of your daughter. As you mentioned she had 3 convulsions in the past and that has never happened before also this comes with the menstrual cycle and it is accepted for you to discuss the question you mentioned. Which will surely help to check if any particular reason is there as a cause of it. Also, you should have mentioned if the delivery was normal? as this will help more of it. A complete history of the family and your daughter from the confirmation of pregnancy till date will help provide the closed position for the diagnosis.
also, kindly make your daughter perform some regular breathing exercise as this is helpful to regulate the normal physiological system. Also meditation is also advised for more deeper aspect.
Including the regular physical exercise will help her metabolism to the optimum and the bodys immune system will also become stronger.
with the grace of God I wish your daughter a good health
