Hi Sandra,

 

Unfortunately, stroke survivors are at increased risk of developing seizures, particularly if the stroke is severe or a bleed.

 

Stroke related seizures can generally be controlled with anti-seizure medications. Your mum’s neurology team will be able to advise you on the most appropriate medication and ongoing management plan for her. Here is a link to information about stroke related seizures: Seizures and Epilepsy

 

Please don’t hesitate to contact us on 1800 787 953 if you have any other questions,

 

All the best,

Lisa (StrokeLine)
