autonomic seizures
Autonomic seizures are a type of epileptic seizure characterized by abnormal electrical activity in the brain affecting the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary bodily processes such as heart rate, breathing, digestion, and blood pressure. These seizures can cause variations in these functions, leading to symptoms like increased heart rate, changes in breathing pattern, sweating, nausea, or changes in blood pressure.
