Patients with epilepsy frequently experience autonomic symptoms during seizures, including changes in heart rate, respiration, and gastrointestinal, urogenital, and pupillary functions. , Autonomic dysfunction is a risk factor for mortality and morbidity in people with epilepsy and is closely related to Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP).
