We were away from home for a week & I did not use my CPAP and felt very clear in the AM, now after one night with CPAP I’m having petit mal seizures. I have had Grand Mal seizures since I was 16 (now 73). Seizures have been well controlled with Lamictal ( seizures every 10 yrs or so, last 2 were after surgeries)
Any idea if Resuming CPAP is cause or coincidence?

Hello @steve43040,
Welcome to our group at Connect.
Given how well-controlled your seizures have been on Lamictal, this sudden change seems significant. Have you been able to reach your doctor?
