Severe copd and grand mal seizures

[nepats32954]

Ive had grand mal seizures since i was 5 .Little over 10 years ago told i have copd .Didnt take long to go from mild to severe,now on oxyjen 24/7.Havent had a seizure in 4 years,in that time breathing gone way downhill.Was going to get transplant but cancer found,worried when i get another seizure might not be able to have enough to wake.Lungs really bad.

I'm sorry to hear of all your health issues. You have many conditions & I think you should contact your pulmonary doctor & allow him to advise you as you go forward. I'll pray that you're given something to help you. Take care & God bless you.

Thank you Joyful4u ,have talked to family doc as well as pulmonologist ,get same answer, dont get another seizure.I think a lot of doctors seem a little shaky when epilepsy,especially grand mals .Guess not common having both,copd grandmals.hopefully find info on these sites.

nepats32954, I will say a prayer as well. My big issue & as far as I know my only issue is being on ox 24/7. I went from ok to ox 24/7 really quickly too. Some days are good & I can move around a little bit some days I just can't w/o getting totally winded, so I know what your going thru as far as that goes..so good luck & I hope your seizures get better for you
