Great links thanks. I have also read about a type of seizure known as
Central Ichtal Apnea. Our daughter frequently complains; "my throat is
thinking again". We can not figure it out.

Here is some websites that also discuss a relationship between sleep apnea
and epilepsy....

Hi Stacey. Is the sleep apnea what actually causes your husbands seizures? I
am wondering if this is possible with my daughter. On my daughter's EEG it
does show an abnormality during the second stage of sleep. Do you think that
there might be a connections with this?
When my daughter cannot breathe, she wakes up and remembers this. She cannot
even get in one breath. Her face turns blue. She is so scared of this.

Cristin,
Is it possible that her period of not breathing while sleeping could be
related to sleep apnea...and then the loss of oxygen triggers the seizure?
This is what happens to my husband. His epileptologist sent him to a sleep
specialist. He was dx with severe sleep apnea and the loss of oxygen
effected his E. Just an idea from personal experience.

> Hello. My daughters seizures started in January 2009. She has had 5
seizures. Before each one she cannot breath in any air. She makes this
gasping choking sound that lasts for about 30 seconds to one minute and then
the seizure kicks in and she does not remember anything else. This alwasys
happens while she is sleeping. Last night shortly after falling asleep she
all of the sudden lifted up her head and turned around. I asked her if she
was ok. After asking her a few times she said yes. And then told me a few
minutes later that she felt the same kind of feeling before she had the
other seizures, but she controlled it. She was to scared to go back to
sleep. This has happened once in the past as well. Does anyone know what
might be going on? Thankyou. Cristin Filipuzzi
