Another way I learned to look at the causes of seizures is the STOP EAT acronym:
S--Sugar - Lack of blood sugar or too much insulin
T-- Temperature - High temperature "cooking the brain" as in Heat Stroke or low temperature as in Hypothermia
O--Oxygen - Lack of oxygen to the brain
P--Pressure - Increasing intracranial pressure from swelling or an internal bleed in the brain
E--Electricity - Lightning, etc.
A--Altitude - High altitude can cause swelling in the brain
T--Toxins - Chemicals in bloodstream like alcohol
