I could be any number of things causing the problems, thyroid is one, brain injury at anytime in the past. As the heart is involved it could be a number of things, even though the person is pretty young at 35 arteries blocks could be it. I always say have a second opinion. I hope he or she gets better. |

It's all started out of nowhere. Last year his heart just out of the blue started to stop, after the 3rd or so time he got the pacemaker. He had a seizure a few months ago and now had 2 this week. He's been to see good doctors and they just gave him medicine for epilepsy. Dunno how you just develop shit like this out of the blue. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 899040 United States 01/16/2011 03:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Right after the stroke, whenever he saw a friend or someone he cared about he would get so excited he'd go into a seizure. He had 2 heart attacks due to these seizures and now has a difibulator inside him. No health problems before the stroke. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1231314It's like this all started out of the blue? Any info? how about asking the doctor what he/she suspect first lmfao Uhh yea he's seeing doctors you couldn't afford. Now go back to your threesome with your kangaroo and your mum. I'm getting my own info u fucking idiot. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1170013Sigh. Well it does happen that people develop these things out of the blue. But there was definitely a cause... I mean, maybe he was electrocuted somehow. You have to think of all the things electrically related that he's doing or done. Gotta think of everything it could be. I know of a man who started having seizures for 'no reason'... he had brain surgery and medical study books written on him. Outside of brain surgery, that I seem to recall was practically 'experimental', all they do is give him epilepsy meds. Leads a normal life, but as far as I last knew, still has seizures occasionally, usually when he sleeps. I would say it could be electrical, maybe brainwave related... the same current that would cause the heart to stop could also cause seizures. There needs to be so much more study and research done in all these different areas. So much to be done. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1230095 United States 01/16/2011 03:17 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just a hunch, but the four electrolyte minerals that govern the electrical impulses in the body are calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium. If one of these is severely out of balance, it can not only effect nerve transmissions, but can also cause muscles to spasm. Magnesium, something most western diets are deficient in, may be the culprit. Magnesium deficient people are prone to heart attacks.Magnesium is difficult to accurately measure on standard blood tests. see: [link to www.google.com] in particular with regard to the effects of magnesium supplements in reducing seizures: [link to www.epilepsy.com] [link to www.coping-with-epilepsy.com] Magnesium taurate is an excellent form of magnesium, especially for those with heart conditions. You cannot OD on it, and it cannot hurt to try. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1170013It's like this all started out of the blue? Any info? Epileptic seizures often cause an irregular heartbeat. Sometimes the irregular heartbeat is c characterized by a very low heartbeat rate. Pacemakers are now being used to monitor and correct abnormal heart beats and this, in turn, is preventing sudden epilepsy deaths. Perhaps your friend has adult-onset epilepsy and he has been fitted with a pacemaker to avoid having a fatal episode that is exacerbated by a very low and irregular heart rate.
