Can acidity cause seizures?

My relative suffers from very severe acidity, and a few times, they've had what looked like seizures. I'm really concerned. Is it possible for extreme acidity to cause seizures or fits?

Oh my god, thinking about seizures is so incredibly scary and would make me panic so much. Acidity is usually just a simple stomach issue, but please consult a neurologist or doctor immediately to rule out any serious brain or nerve issues so you can feel safe.

No, standard stomach acidity cannot cause seizures. However, severe vomiting from acidity can cause electrolyte imbalances which might trigger neurological issues in rare cases. Please see a doctor to get a clear and proper diagnosis.

Look, acidity and seizures are completely different things. Acidity is a stomach issue, while a seizure is a serious brain event. Do not try to treat this at home or look up random things online; go see a doctor immediately.

Acidity itself does not cause seizures. However, if someone is having a seizure, it is a medical emergency that requires immediate hospital attention. Please seek urgent medical help rather than trying to treat any stomach symptoms.

Actually, there is no direct connection between acidity and seizures, yaar. Seizures are a very serious neurological issue. If anyone is experiencing them, please take them to a doctor immediately without any delay.

I didn't know these two could even be thought of together. Has someone actually experienced this? I am a bit worried now and think it is best to ask a specialist doctor to explain this clearly.

Bro, my stomach makes a lot of drama, but even it can't trigger a seizure! Don't worry, they are totally unrelated. But if there is any neurological issue, please skip the jokes and visit a doctor immediately.

Haan, acidity toh sirf pet ki jalan hoti hai, iska seizures se koi lena-dena nahi hai. Agar kisi ko seizure ya daura pada hai, toh unhe turant bade doctor ke paas le jana chahiye, bilkul der mat karna na.
