Some of the main causes of Epilepsy\/ seizures include:
1. Low oxygen during birth.
2. Head injuries\u00a0that occur during birth or from accidents during youth or adulthood, Brain tumors<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, and stroke.
3. Genetic conditions that result in\u00a0brain\u00a0injury, such as\u00a0tuberous sclerosis<\/a><\/strong><\/span>
4. Infections such as\u00a0meningitis\u00a0or\u00a0encephalitis
5. Abnormal levels of substances such as sodium or\u00a0blood sugar
6. Missing medication doses
7. Heavy alcohol use, Cocaine\u00a0or another drug, such as ecstasy, use
8. Other drugs that interfere with seizure\u00a0medications<\/p>\r\n

Prevention:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n

If the seizures are due to other medical conditions, knowing and\u00a0treating such triggers is the key to prevention.
\u2022 Lack of sleep and stress certainly may increase the seizures in some people with epilepsy.
\u2022 Since the cause of epilepsy is often not clear, it generally is not possible to prevent it.
\u2022 In some people with epilepsy, certain severe triggers can lead to a seizure. Identify and watch for particular triggers, environments, or physical and emotional signs. It’s not uncommon, for example, to feel annoyed or related several hours prior to a grand mal seizure, and immediately before the attack.
\u2022 When the preliminary signs include depression, irritability, an extra dose of medication (with a doctor’s approval) may help prevent an attack.
\u2022 Learn stress management and relaxation techniques.
\u2022 Avoid bright, flashing lights and other visual stimuli.
\u2022 Avoid playing video games.
\u2022 A regular pattern of food &amp; sleeping is also important.<\/p>\r\n
