QUESTION FOR THE LADIES: Does Any Get Increased Seizures Lead Up To Period?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Sydney, AU

This is a question for the ladies.

I've been keeping a journal of my seizure, which have happened at different times in my cycle, but seem to happened almost without fail in the period of the 10 days leading up to my period. Does this happen to anyone else? They AREN'T exclusively in the post-ovulation period but they are concentrated there.

Do you think hormonal changes associated with my cycle are a trigger?

Am claustrophobic & scared of heights!
Had to wear mask in building on 2nd floor (see through floor w/ hand rails to hold over side-> to see around) & 3rd party didn't care about the job to be done!
Co-worker & others worked to clear my mind, loosen my mask, get me off 2nd floor & out of the building to breathe deeply!
No seizure resulted, but my family arrived home to me spread out across the bed, with the fan on High, asleep, unmoving for several hours- as if it had🥴😳☹
No more of that!!!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Is wearing a mask for long periods of time a trigger?
I feel dizzy and foggy. My head feels pressure.
