A seizure is often a response to any one of a wide variety of things, including prescription drugs, herbs, supplements, essential oils, alternative medicines, sounds, lights, and the list goes on.
Yes, you can have a seizure even if you do not have a seizure disorder. Most people who have seizures have a seizure disorder which can be diagnosed with tests, such as an EEG. But anyone can have seizures - whether or not they have a diagnosed seizure disorder. Some people have seizures because they are merely susceptible to seizures. Other people may have only one seizure in their lifetime. And, of course, most people have zero seizures in their lifetime.
And if you have a seizure, but you do not have a seizure disorder, then it is especially important to consider whether or not your seizure was a response to one of the types of things on the list above.
