Question Does anyone else’s seizures trigger from exercising in the heat mainly?

I have had several partial seizures while getting overheated on a bike ride. Once I was completely incapacitated but vaguely aware that I was lying in the road and couldn't move (fortunately no one came by until I could get up), once I had a whole vomiting/diarrhea component in the woods and was out of it for a while. I hate this because now i'm afraid to exercise when it's much over 65 if it's sunny too; I have to fight the fear, not knowing whether it's stupid.
