Nocturnal epilepsy is a seizure disorder in which seizures occur only while sleeping. It can be treated with homeopathy which helps treat acute fits as well as eliminates the tendency to have seizures. You may need to discuss it further over a call for a better and effective medical consultation.

Get your seizure well controlled. Take an opinion from a good neurologist. Get eeg and mri brain done if not done recently preferably after consulting your physician/neurologist. Better medicines are available now a days. Seizures/convulsions are risky if not controlled.
