Sometimes epilepsy can also be linked with migraine. It's worth notifying your neurologist and they can send you for some tests

Here's wishing you well.

Often the reason you can have such a bad headache after a seizure is concussion. Therefore, you need to take the suggestions to sleep and rest seriously. Your body really needs to recover after such an incident. Why are you often not able to?

I am a mum, I have duties that I need to attend to and would love to sleep the headaches away but I am not able to due to having my mummy responsibilities, it's soo hard. X

I suggest you tell your neurologist they might prescribe some medication to ease your headache.
