It comes more than a year after the rap star, whose Grammy wins include the best rap album award in 2008 for Tha Carter III, was treated after suffering what his reps called two minor seizures.
Epilepsy is a condition of the brain which can disrupt the electrical communication between neurons in the nervous system.
This often leads to seizures, a sudden event that can change a person’s awareness, behavior or feeling.
The condition is typically diagnosed when a person has two or more unprovoked fits separated by at least 24 hours.
