I'm Wondering If The Heat Effects Anybody Else. When It Gets Really Hot I Go Into Seizures.

Excessive heat will cause me to have seizures. Like today it was 87 plus high humidity. I had 2 seizures today. Was wondering if heat effects anyone else.

Yes! I have to be careful in the heat. I haven't had a seizure due to it for a long time but I can get very dizzy and feel dehydrated very easily, so the risk is a lot higher.

Not for me! The warmer the better! Higher altitude is what’s hard for me I live where the altitude is 6,200 feet. Stress is my biggest trigger.

When humidity with the heat becomes extreme without me being in air conditioning that can cause issues to come about between the epilepsy, migraines, and rheumatoid arthritis. When I see outside temperature at 75 mark I turn the air conditioner on.
