Incoming SA: Prior Seizure, Any Reason to Worry?

Incoming SA here. Had a seizure about 2 years ago after a head injury in college (no previous seizure history). Got fully checked out, scans/tests were normal, haven't had another one since, and neurologist wasn't concerned about long-term issues.

With IB hours and occasional sleep deprivation, is this something I should actually be concerned about from a health standpoint? I keep seeing people talk about 80-100+ hour weeks and people having seizures on the floor.

Curious if anyone has experience with something similar or knows people who have worked through it without issues. Would appreciate any insight.

Is my situation that uncommon? Thought it would be more common, as there are a lot of ex-athletes in banking.
