Is it possible for someone to have a seizure during intercourse
My husband is epileptic but is also on medication and I recently witnessed an attack which made me extremely nervous but im curious to if a seizure can occur during intercourse...its never happened before but I guess actually seeing him go through this attack it made me kind of wonder
Answer:Yes, since seizures can occur at any time. This is why people w/seizures usually don't drive! However, you can have him see his doctor and/or neurologist, to measure the level of meds in his blood and adjust the medication if needed. My husband was on phenytoin (Dilantin), which wasn't working too well. Now he takes trileptal, and it seems to be working better.
Seizures often occur after exertion, stress and at certain times of day, like sundown or early evening, so keep an eye on your husband during those times. Prompt him to drink lots of water, to avoid dehydration, since that can trigger seizures too. Another big factor for people w/epileptic seizures seems to be sleep. I knew a girl who HAD to get 9 hrs. of sleep or she'd have twice as many seizures the next day!
I don't think you need to avoid sex, just because of this one instance! It was probably caused by something else, but DO mention it to his doctor. Good luck!
He can have a seizure at any time
yea, i hav seen it on tv, actually a series, but um... i gues it can happen in real life 2. Don't get nervous, it doesnt happen all the time. Try 2 ease him out.
i'm no M.D., but no one cannot rule out why it can't
get a professional opinion tho
it can and will happen
yes it is possible!
Just because you having fun and getting some......... doesn't make health concerns dissapear.
Check with the doctor to see if there are things you can do to limit the chances of a seizure, while having sex, so that your not thinking about it the whole time while your trying to enjoy yourself.
