nikolaus,

It is great to have you come and be with us. You will fine a great number of dear friends to listen when you are in need of ears. Please, just let us know how we can help you out. You will find out we are supportive and relaxing place.

You might want to ask your family Dr. to refer you to see a Epileptologist (Dr. specializing in epilepsy.) You can usually find an Epileptologist at a big hospital or a University hospital. These Drs. know how to treat both epilepsy and other neurology disorders. These Drs. will do tests on a person and find the cause of the epilepsy, keep them on the least amount of sz. medicine, they are updated on any new treatments for epilepsy.

Try taking vitamin B12 once a day, cut back on caffeine, starch foods, and carbs and you may want to stay away from anything with nutra sweet in it because the nutra sweet causes more electrical activity in the brain and can sometimes cause sz. for a person. Also if you go to a theater to see a movie afford looking at bright flashing lights during the show, just turn your head during that time.

Please keep us up to date on your condition. Again welcome, looking forward to seeing you around. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Hi nickolaus,

Welcome to the forum! I have a feeling your rapid heartbeat is trigger simple partial (aura) sz. where you can't recognize letters this happens often with me. I will look at something but it doesn't look familiar. If I may ask do you ever get a nervous feeling in your stomach, smell weird odours like something burning, or gases, along with seeing colors in your eyes? If you do this is a simple partial sz. Often heart problems can lead to epilepsy do to the blood flow to the brain.
Darlene was correct start seeing an Epileptologist at an Epilepsy center and get off the antidepresssents because that will just increase sz. if you are on any meds for them. If you go to an Epilepsy Center you will see an Epileptologist and a neuropsychatrist who will do testing on you and can tell what area of your brain is possibly triggering sz. along with what side of your brain you are using for memory and speech. Start taking vitamin B12 1000 mcg. once a day to help calm your nerves this also will help reduce your sz. possibly. I know it's done wonders reducing my sz.
Stress and lack of sleep are the 2 main things that will trigger a sz. for a person. I have found that listening to music and writing help me a lot if I'm under stress. Cut back on the carbs and starch foods along with caffeine because carbs and starch foods turn into sugars which fire up the neurons in the brain and can lead to sz. for some people. The one big thing to stay away from is nutra sweet (aspartame) like diet soda that is wicked and will cause more electrical activity in the brain. Keep track of your sz. write them down on a calendar describing what the sz. was like, along with the time that the sz. happened. By doing this the neuro or Epileptologist you see may see a pattern in your sz. I always have sz. at least 2 days out of the month around the 25th if not before. Get away from the psychiatrist and see a neuropsychatrist instead you will get a lot more help and they won't be pushing drugs on you. Also keep track of the weather because sometimes a person will have a sz. if a low pressure in the weather is coming in. I often get headaches and my Epileptologist told me that a low pressure makes the air heavier which in turn affects a persons hormones triggering a sz. I've had epilepsy for 41 yrs. and had 2 brain surgeries for it to reduce my sz. so I've been through a lot but I'm not giving up I still am looking for ways to help stop epilepsy all together. Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You!
