Q: i got diagnosed with CAD and the doctors say its causing lack of oxygen to my heart which is causing lack of oxygen to my brain can it be linked to my epilepsy (seizures)

i had gone to the hospital a couple days ago with horrible chest pains difficulty breathing and dizziness and the doctors say that it is causing lack of oxygen to my heart which is causing lack of oxygen to my brain. now i have epilepsy could the CAD have anything to do with the cause of my seizures because since i was 14 doctors have been having trouble figuring out whats causing them but now the doctors seem to think they have the answers but i have to go to a heart specialist to get further testing but im worried and want to know now if there is anything anyone can help me with

Hi Okcgal123,

I'm sorry to hear about your issues. You should ask your physician/heart specialist if your two issues are related as he/she would be the best resource for you to consult.

Best Regards,
