Can seizures increase your heart rate?

well...... it can just be anxiety. Seizures aren't much fun - they're some giant release of electrical energy in your brain which is scary. Their cause is generally unknown. The heart also runs on electricity. So you can imagine a big release of energy could affect the heart - but mainly the heart beats rapidly when you're frightened.

If you have seizure, you might want to research treating it with Taurine. It's an amino acid which is cheap - you can get it at the health food store. There's some papers on the Net about this. You might start out with a dosage of 2 to 3 grams a day of it. It's not got any side effects, so if it did work, it would be so much better than any other medication.

Atkins mentions this in his book - "Vita-Nutrient Solution" which you can get used from Amazon - and as I say, there's various mentions of it on the Net as well.

Not sure sorry

Yes, seizures can effect your heart rate. If you haven't done so already, SEE A DOCTOR before considering self-medicating.

There are many, many things that can influence your heart rate. In your case, I find it irresponsible to generalize that fear is the usual cause & to suggest self-medication without knowing your medical history.

I repeat, SEE A DOCTOR.
