Epilepsy and Diabetes — Confusion or Common Cure?
2 Comments
A seizure can be quite serious and can be a scary experience for not just the person experiencing it but for the people around them.
While seizures are caused due to many reasons, one of the prime reasons for a seizure to occur is when people have epilepsy.
Among those types of seizures are diabetic seizures, which can sometimes turn into an emergency quite quickly.

Sodium — How Much Does Your Body Need?
13 Comments
You may think that sodium is a “bad guy” to be avoided or reduced at all cost, because too much is linked to high blood pressure.
But sodium is actually an essential electrolyte, and a deficiency can trigger seizures.
Seizures from low sodium levels are most likely to occur from a serious disease, acute infection or because you tried to run a marathon on a hot day.
One-time or isolated seizures from these causes don’t warrant a diagnosis of epilepsy.
However, epilepsy is sometimes misdiagnosed and you may have an underlying health condition that’s causing an electrolyte problem.
