My younger brother recently died from heart attack! He was epilepsy patient from childhood around 14-15 years. He was overweight .Is epilepsy related to heart attack?

Epilepsy is not related to heart attack. But overweight predisposes a person to high cholesterol which can definitely lead to heart attack.

Unlikely, unless he has a heart problem also as co morbidity. Medications used in EWpilepsy may cause nonspecific cardiac problems.
