    Is there any way to stop this?
    I am 17 years old and I had a seizure last year August, according to my doctor I had epilepsy seizure, I had my seizure because it was past down from my great grand uncle. The point is at anytime or day I would randomly start to feel dizzy and light-headed and nauseous. I am going to start driving pretty soon and the last thing I want is an accident. Is there any way I can stop the random nauseousness from happening ever again?

    You should talk to your doctor about this.
    For the sake of everyone's safety you should not be driving if you do not have control over your symptoms.

    I agree with the above poster. Many people with epilepsy cannot drive because of seizures. But there is medication, especially for those that don't have many seizures.

    If you've been diagnosed with epilepsy then your doctor should be helping you deal with it. I'm shocked that you aren't under a doctors care at this time.

    When you apply for your license they'll ask you if you have any medical disorders that could be dangerous. Think carefully about careening down the highway at 80mph(130km\h), having a seizure and causing your car to spin out of control into a light standard or worse yet another car. All because you couldn't control your car.

    A lot of stats/countries require you to be seizure free for at least a year if not longer before they're willing to consider giving you're a license. I would talk to your doctor about this and the impact it could have on your driving future.

    Sorry for the bad news but epileptics usually aren't allowed to drive for their own safety and the safety of others.
