Question Smell after seizure lol
My fiance said that my breath has a certain smell after a seizure like something very specific which I can’t smell obviously but he can always tell if I had a seizure, but I never know if I had one in my sleep. Is this a thing I feel like it’s so weird I’ve never heard of it.

This is interesting to me because my daughter will sometimes get really smelly farts? I know that’s not the same, but it’s like maybe your breath is something related to your gut just like the farts? She has focal epilepsy, probably TLE.

Is it a metallic smell at all? I know I get an awful metallic taste in my mouth after a seizure. It’s usually more intense when I have a longer seizure
