Is it career suicide to ask to be rolled off a project? Normally I’d push through the stress but now that I found out stress triggers my seizures, not sure what to do. Thoughts?

If you’re considering SEIZURES over asking to roll off, you need to seriously reevaluate some priorities. Seriously.

And by frame it well that means cite your health concerns if you need to.

Wouldn't classify it as career suicide, but may be career limiting as some projects and exec's may be hesitant to have you on a project due to the health concerns. No company wants bad things to happen to employees, so you may want to discuss your options with HR or a partner

Spent 15yrs in industry before switching to consulting a year ago. In industry there were workarounds or I could step down to a lesser role. Not sure how it works in consulting.

I’m new to this startup and was leading a cross functional project involving several other product teams with dependencies. When we got near the end with E2E testing, I realized that none of the product teams really do QA: no test scripts, not logs of dev unit testing, no documentation of testing cycles – there devs asked “what do we do about edge cases?” I raised this to my boss (since I don’t manage those other teams) and he said I’m creating unnecessary stress for the teams. Is he right?
