Roshan,
Welcome to our group.
I am not a Dr. but that doesn't sound like EP to me.
Have you considered getting a second opinion?
Is your husband having any szs now?
When a person has EP they will usually have szs or convulsions.
They are the same in my opinion.
I have just retired from being a home health aid for 25 years.
You may write to me if you wish.
