A person having a seizure may develop hypothermia due to several factors, including prolonged muscle activity and increased metabolic demand during the seizure, which can lead to heat loss if the individual is not in a warm environment. Additionally, seizures can impair the body's ability to regulate temperature, particularly if there is a postictal state (the period following the seizure) where the person may be less responsive. If the seizure occurs in a cold environment or the individual is unable to generate adequate body heat, this can further contribute to the risk of hypothermia.
