Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Epilepsy patients are more prone for aspiration pneumonia. And this can directly cause breathing problem. Aspiration pneumonia also causes bronchitis and bronchospasm. And this can also cause breathlessness. So take her to pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). She may need antibiotics, inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid on the basis of reports.Don't worry, she will be alright. Also continue anti-epileptic Chat Doctor. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
