There is no clear evidence that blood type directly impacts epilepsy or the severity of seizures. However, some research suggests there may be an association between certain blood types and risk of other chronic health conditions. Ultimately, more research is needed to determine if blood type plays a definitive role. If you Show Full Answer

There is no clear evidence that blood type directly impacts epilepsy or the severity of seizures. However, some research suggests there may be an association between certain blood types and risk of other chronic health conditions. Ultimately, more research is needed to determine if blood type plays a definitive role. If you are unsure of your blood type, you can ask your doctor to test it next time you have bloodwork done. Knowing your blood type can be important in case you ever need a blood transfusion. Beyond that, blood type itself does not seem to directly impact epilepsy management or outcomes.

I think this is one of those questions that they don't have a answer to yet. I probably read somewhere that there were studies into this but there no real answers.

Interesting question. I will have to look into this. I have not thought of my blood type affecting my health. I have quite a few weird medical issues. Recently I have said (joking, yet still serious) that there is just something wrong with me and I might as well accept it. I love research into the medical world.

I have the most common blood type there is. I don't think blood type has anything to do with epilepsy. Or there would be even more people with it.

I have heard that your blood type can affect all kinds of things, but I have never gone down that rabbit hole to check it out.
