Although I am not a doctor, but have had seizures 77+ years and studied the causes at Stanford's Doctors Library when younger. I think a number of things are missing before you reach your conclusion on their cause. First, Epilepsy (or known as seizures today) came from the Greek word "Epilepsia" which mean't "to seize on attack, as noted by Dr. William Lennox a neurologist in the early days of this condition." What was pointed out was "that the electrical impulses of the brain (if they were increased or decreased beyond a control the brain was able to handle "would seize the area that was weak or not stable, until the body and brain reset itself after the seizure.

Research, understanding, experience and technology have pointed out reasons for causes of these things "referred to as Triggers." In that a number of items can and do have the ability to be a Trigger, you should have a Neulogist or Epileptologist more familiar with the brain and its senses to help evaluate things. Next, should come a pretty much standard CBC, since blood componants with Oxygen, CO2 etc. can be triggers. Next an EEG or Electoencephliagram will measure electical components of the brain and sometimes be able to point out deficiencies. With a continuation of this problem an MRI can often show brain deficiencies, past TIA's, and brain area's affected.

Then the Neurologist or Epileptologist will often put you through a Neurological exam, having you walk, so as to watch your gait; stand feet together and close your eyes indicative to balance; put your arms out ant touch your nose with one hand and then the other, etc. Then a determination at the conclusion of all these things can often be conclusive and point out the most logical type of treatment for control and stability.
