I have been having shortness of breath for the past few days. Last night out of nowhere I had a seizure in the middle of the night. I have looked up causes, and symptoms and everything. But I would like to know why? I have no previous incidents of seizures.
Hello there and welcome, Well Seizure in other word Convulsion or fits can be of several types and due to several reasons. From you descriptions, ongoing shortness of breath can cause Hypoxia(decreased oxygenation to the cells of body) which in-turn causes seizure but it's not a common entity in otherwise healthy individual (are you sure that shortness of breath is the only problem?? There can be something else too which apparently may look fine). Well either way having a seizure out of nowhere is never fine, so it's better to get checked to a Neurologist to get a thorough evaluation done as well as get an MRI-Brain and complete metabolic profile check-up done at the earliest to clarify the reason for the seizure. Thanks a lot for contacting Chat Doctor, get well soon
