Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Electrolyte imbalance is probably present which has led to fits.
2. Possibly hyponatremia is present. Serum sodium and potassium evaluation is necessary.
3. Hyponatremia can lead to cerebral edema.
4. Associated diarrhoea or renal problem with excessive diuretics could be a cause. Further history is essential for full evaluation.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
