I was wondering if You get too hot does it trigger a seizure? I was sitting at home tonight and I got really hot and felt one coming on and I got it stopped before it was full blown.

Yesss indeed. Heat has had a big factor in me having seizures. I've been in the hospital 6 times since June. It's Very depressing.

Yes! I was just about to ask this but decided to check if it was already on here. Being overheated or very cold are definitely triggers for me. I was in the kitchen earlier with the oven on, and suddenly experienced an aura and began to seize. It was a petit mal, I don't remember the new term.

Yes! Everytime it gets really hot I have seizures and it's even worst when the temperature is in the 100's
