This is a similar situation to that of asthma and diabetes. If a diver has epilepsy and requires medication to control it, then there is a greater risk that a seizure might occur underwater. A seizure underwater almost always leads to drowning. A person with epilepsy or otherwise prone to seizures should not dive or should at the very least, consult with a neurologist first.
