Having seizures during Nitrogen hood?

[BlindsClosed]

Hey,
I've had my Nitrogen gas hood setup and ready to go for years now, but last night I read up that people have seizures during hypoxia. I have grand mal epilepsy and now I'm afraid during the process I will have a seizure and who knows what I could do, maybe yank out the hose or hood even? Anyone have any info on this? Any opinions or advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

The kit scares me

Do you have access to diazepam? If it were me, I would perhaps take a high dose at least 30 minutes before attempting,maybe closer to an hour. I would definitely research ER protocols for diazepam administration for seizures.

your legs or hands can twist a few times, but definately not seizure-like. just keep gas tank out of reach just in case.

I have grand mal seizures so they're severe and full body convulsions so I would definitely be flayling around a lot. Makes me re-think this option entirely :/

Where did you read this?

Where did you read this?

Various places like neuroligcal medical journals stating this, "Brain cells are extremely sensitive to oxygen deprivation and can begin to die within five minutes after oxygen supply has been cut off. When hypoxia lasts for longer periods of time, it can cause coma, seizures, and even brain death."
