I was awake alert. I was sensing that I was getting fatigued and tired. In both cases- there were 2- I immediately hydrated with water and got back in air conditioning. The symptoms resolved quickly. I have never lost awareness to my knowledge. My last eeg showed a breach rhythm which is not normal but is non epileptic. Also my TSH is very low. Which means currently I am hyperthroid. My dose of levothyroxine was reduced. I do think it is heat related. I was inside all day today till this evening. My husband walks our dogs till the late afternoon or evening. So I was outside again walking with no symptoms. Thank you for your reply. I will continue to monitor myself.
I was a many year smoker with epilepsy and it helped with mental aspects of it. I can suggest to replace smoking with mindful/focused breathing instead to help keep mental health up. I found that when I quit, the part that I missed was having that 10 min of me time and my Psychologist brought up that it does bring in focused breathing when smoking. By quitting I feel physically better and financially better and the cost savings alone is fantastic. There is the option to go to vape but the risks are unknown and I did that for a while as well but quit cold turkey. It's easier to manage if it's not on your plate.
Thank you for letting me know about this @jakedduck1
Have a nice weekend!
