Name a factor that can cause fits.

Seizures happen when there is abnormal, excessive electrical activity in the brain. Epilepsy is the condition defined by recurrent seizures, so it directly causes fits. Headache is a pain symptom and doesn’t produce the brain-wide electrical disturbance that leads to a convulsion. Diabetes or hypertension may be linked to seizures only in specific situations (like severe hypoglycemia or hypertensive emergencies), but they are not the direct, typical cause. So epilepsy is the factor that can cause fits.
