I have been have very frequent(several times a day) and they will last upto 5 mins. and just before i have the siezure i have a sudden drop in heart rate and blood pressure to below 30.
I have been for 2 EGG's and both results show no signs of epilepsy.
i have also had a brain MRI and a CT scan and there is cyst and tissue damage but the nurologist believes that the siezures are still caused from the epilepsy.(could he be wrong?
could it have something to do with my heart? and not my brain?
now im in constant pain
I have Cerebral Palsy, however its not the CP that are causing the siezures.
i have had test and test and blood test after blood test ... about 50 in the first 3 weeks. and no every 2 weeks

Epilepsy basically means you have recurring seizures that don't seemed to be caused by another condition. If your CP is causing them then technically you don't have epilepsy. An EEG won't necessarily show that you have epilepsy, just that you have abnormal activity and/or seizures.
Seizures are caused by your brain "short circuiting" which could easily be a result of cysts or damaged brain matter. Although I guess it could be possible that your heart has a problem that affects your blood pressure which disrupts the flow to your heart and causes seizures, but seizures still happen in the brain.
I hope that helps
