I've had a seizure in December and another one just recently, both times while I was sleeping around 5:15 in the morning. I had an MRI and it came back fine, but my blood work showed elevated liver enzymes and a higher white blood cell count. Should I be worried about these results, and is there a chance they're related to the seizures? What should my next steps be?
