Yes, there are stress seizures. Stress is one of the big seizure triggers. Following, lack of sleep, late on meds and anxiety.

Yes i have them because your body gets overwhelmed and exhausted and goes into a seizure because of the stress and exhaustion from it and you recover from it tired and exhausted from it normally.
