If my brain scan (MRI) is normal and I am taking Levera 500 for seizures, does my blood pressure rising to 145/100 during an episode mean that high blood pressure is causing the seizures, or do I have epilepsy?

It is very common to have a normal MRI scan even if you have epilepsy, as many seizures originate from microscopic or electrical issues in the brain that scans cannot see. The rise in your blood pressure to 145/100 is likely a temporary, natural reaction to the intense physical and emotional stress of a seizure, rather than the cause of it. While Levera 500 (levetiracetam) is helping manage your seizures, it is important to share these blood pressure readings with your neurologist.
