What Causes Seizures With High Blood Pressure And Diabetes?
My boyfriend 39 yrs of age started having seizures last year in July 2011 & since has been diagnosed with Schizencephely & has had them (seizures) every couple months & they are pretty bad & scary. He also has high blood pressure & diabetes. He now has swollen feet. What would that be caused from?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Seizures are most probably not caused by diabetes mellitus or high blood pressure.
Schincephaly is a anomaly of brain and this is the probable cause of seizures.
Brain anomalies can alter the brain parenchyma and thus lead to seizures and epilepsy.
You need to consult your neurologist for clinical assessment, relevant investigations and thus treatment of seizures.
Swollen feet is not due to seizures but it is due to high blood pressure.
Treatment of high blood pressure will relieve the high blood pressure.
Consult your physician for treatment of high blood pressure and diabetes mellitus.
Thanks and take care
