People can start to have seizures at any stage of their life, for all sorts of reasons. There is not one single cause. Seizures can be caused by a wide variety of things, so it would be impossible to answer that question definitively as each case is different.

What does it mean when you dream about someone you have a crush on and you were told they are having seizures?

This dream means that you are looking for a reason to get in touch with your crush, perhaps against this person's wishes. The idea of your crush having seizures is a false basis for believing that this person needs you. But the idea comes from your own fantasy and wishful thinking. In reality, this person does not need you and does not return your affection. Mistaking the fantasies of your dreams with reality could result in very embarrassing and perhaps illegal behavior.


Can having emphysema cause seizures?

During the usual course of emphysema, a person who has never had seizures before will not have any seizures.

But generally, emphysema is just a chronic lung disease characterized by inflammation, increased phlegm and coughing, and impaired gas exchange.

How is epilepsy spread in human beings?

Epilepsy is not "spread". It is not contagious, it is not infectious. You cannot catch it from another person. It is a physical condition. So like you cannot catch a broken arm from someone, you cannot catch epilepsy from someone. There are many causes and forms of epilepsy. It is not a single condition, but a catch-all term for anyone that has recurring seizures. There are various reasons people have seizures. About the only way a person can get it from someone else is if a condition that causes seizures is passed on genetically. So people in the same family can sometimes get seizures, but as most cases of epilepsy are not genetic, then usually one person a family having seizures will not mean that others will too.
