What Is The Treatment For The Seizures And Heart Problem?

My brother who lives in Stow, Ohio has had seizures, heart issues and been doctoring in Stow. He does not drive and has no one nearby to assist him with transportation. He has just been put onto United Health and told the nearest doctor who accepts Medicaid is in Cleveland, Dr. Alla Kirsch. Is there no one closer to him? What is a person to do who cannot drive and has no transportation for that distance? I am in Mount Vernon, Ohio about 2 hours from him.

Heart problem can lead to minor or major strokes and these can induce seziure in such patients. also few antiepileptic medicines have cardiac side effects. so i advice your brother to get MRI Brain, EEG, 2D Echocardiography , Holter monitoring done and he needs antiepileptic medicine which are free from cardiac side effects . valproate, levetiracetam, carbamazepeine are good medicines for seizure.
