Hi MargaretI can remember this first time around.. unfortunately little has changed in medicine in that there exists little real expertise anywhere and the main line approach is to use AEDs first rather than looking at other things..

IIrregular heart beat can trigger seizures... and it is interesting to note that in our kids with weak breathing mechanisms.. one of the safety mechanisms that they use at night to maintain oxygen levels is to speed up and slow down the heart... This is an area where I am not aware any doctors are looking..  

Best WishesTracey
