Earlier this week I took my wife to her appointment with her neurologist. I ask the neurologist can a person with epilepsy have seizures from stress and physical exercise. My wife would complain the her head is hurting when she is under stress and exercising and some after she would have a seizure. I talk to the neurologist her head would go to hurting when she is under stress or excercising for a long period of time. I ask could these factors cause her seizures. His answer is no. Is he right?

Thank you for your question. I am not a medical professional and would not be able to provide you with definitive medical information.
I did, however, find the following article that addresses how some people find that stress can trigger seizures:
Stress and Epilepsy
There is also an article on seizures and sports activities:
Sports and Leisure
I hope this helps.
