Does Any Women Know How To Tell When You Get Hot Flashes And Have A Seizure Whether Its From Epilepsy Seizures Or The Change Of Life?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question đź’­
Stockton, CA

I am aware that there is a similarity here which pin points hot flashes. A doctor hasn't been able to answer my question about whether or not I had a seizure due to me going through perimenopause or if it was due to my Epilepsy. Can anyone explain more of the difference between the hot flashes that come on from perimenopause and the ones from Epilepsy. I try to take care of my health to the best of my ability.

I have AED-related insomnia. I take Zopiclone occasionally (when I just can't sleep at all). It works but the next day I feel drugged.
