4 year old has seizures parents smoke a lot of marijuana and also cook with it what effects does this have on her?
Marijuana has been proven to help with many types of childhood seizures, even when some seizure medications are not helping. However, it must be properly administered under the care of a physician. When not legal in the child's state, many parents travel to a state where it is for treatment. Keep in mind, it does not help all childhood seizures. It is also not administered to children through smoke or food. Doing it in this way is not helping the child. The parents smoking marijuana is not a treatment for the child. It might actually be harmful if the parents are stoned while the child is having a seizure. If the parent wants to try using marijuana to treat the child's seizures, they need to go ahead and see a doctor that specializes in this area.

What safety issues would one need to consider when one is having a seizure?
If someone begins having a seizure, ensure that they are laying down comfortably on soft ground preferably with a pillow to keep their head from hitting the ground. Keep their body away from any dangerous objects (i.e. sharp or hot). Check to see if they have an epilepsy identity card or piece of jewelry. Remain calm and stay with them while they are having the seizure. Once the seizure is finished, turn them to their side and allow them to recuperate.
Can a panic attack cause a seizure?
No. A panic attack is caused by an emotional disorder, while a seizure is caused by a physical condition.

In a panic attack you are extremely aware of your body and your surroundings, and have control of your body.
Is Epilepsy Fatal?
It absolutely can be fatal. Seizures can cause breathing problems, pressure on the heart etc. Falls during a seizure can cause severe head injuries, seizures while swimming or in the bath can cause drowning. Non stop seizures (status epilepticus) can be life threatening and requires immediate emergency treatment. A friend of my family died during a seizure due to cardiac arrest. I worked with adults with severe epilepsy for 5yrs. I had one resident who had a huge fit in her bedroom.She was found in her bedroom slumped on her bed. We done CPR but nothing we done could save her. She had very bad epilepsy where she would not breath while having the seizure and she would need oxygen when she had finally come out of the seizure.
Can a stroke happen during an epileptic seizure?
A person can have a stroke at absolutely any time. So someone could have one while having a seizure. That is not to say that a seizure can cause a stroke or a stroke can cause a seizure, or that they are particularly related as generally neither would do anything like that. Both affect the brain, but are two very different kinds of problems caused by different factors.
