Seizures triggers

In most patients, seizures occur randomly without triggers. But some patients identify conditions that trigger the attacks, such as lack of sleep, stress, fever (or illness), bright light, light flashes, alcohol (or its withdrawal), specific meals (or drinks), some drugs, and menstrual periods.

It’s helpful to keep a diary of when the attack occurred and what you did before to know and avoid possible triggers.
