Odd Odor before a seizure

[AngelMyne]

Anyone else have a scent change before, during, or after seizures they notice? I think I learned to notice mine because of having an alert dog at one point. Tho for me the smells really strong, but Im not real sure if anyone else picks it up or not.

Researchers are saying that people with epilepsy do have a chemical in their bodies that change and that is one way a dog can tell if you or a loved one is about to have a seizure. Dogs can also tell by a slight brain wave change is what I have read up on so, yes everyones odor changes before a seizure it is not uncommon. What is uncommon is if you yourself or people around you are smelling it.

I have never a seizure that I know of but my dad and his family does and would really like to know more about this it is interesting to me. My dad doesn't have a warning but we know the signs. You should count yourself to atleast have a warning because it is scary and unpredictable to deal with seizure but I would like to know more if you don't mind. I wish you the best of luck always :)

it sounds like that you have an aura before your seizures. you can consider it as a "warning" that a seizure is coming. not everyone has them and they can come in different forms
take care
