General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
In 90% cases,the cause of seizures could not be detected despite having all the routine and neurological investigations.
Do you have been diagnosed for your seizures?
Now.causes of recurrent seizures could be failure to take medication, anxiety, stress,electrolyte imbalance etc.These are more exaggerating factors rather than causes for recurrent seizures.
You must consult your neurologist for further advise.
Here,I don't want to give you a fake hope because with seizures tendency you won't be able to do hard duty like army soldier despite underlying cause is identified and treated accordingly. The tendency will always remain there despite taking the antiepileptic drugs.
Thanks.
