Hi Michelle,

You should talk to your neuro and tell him/her about your chest pains and they may reduce the drug level you are taking.

Also if the weather is changing in your area like it is here in central NY where I live you might be having what my Epileptologist calls "Seasonal
Seizures" and that means that certain times of the yr. a person has more seizures. I always have more seizures in the fall and winter than I do in the spring and summer.
I've had epilepsy for 39 yrs. I started having petit mal also known as absence sz. then 2 yrs. later I began having complex partial sz. According to my Epileptologist the cp sz. are the hardest to control. If you get a warning that you are going to have an aura sz. try tightening up your fists and all the muscles in your body by doing this it will often stop the aura sz. I was taught to do this back in the 1970's. I wish you the best of luck and May God Bless You!

Sue
