Best Answer

Call a ambulance and loosen their clothing so nothing is tight and put something under their head so they don't hurt themselves. Do not put something between their teeth or hold their hands! A tongue heals faster than broken teeth and they can bite and break your bones! Don't attempt to drive them yourself since if you get stuck in traffic the ambulance might not be able to get to you. But this all depends on what the health care professionals tell you on the phone when you speak to them. Do not hang up on them since the situation can change quickly.

You take your medications and if you have a lot of seizures, your doctor should be raising or changing your dose or type of medication. Another way is to buy a medi-bracelet or necklace so that if you have a seizure out in public and people call an ambulance, the paramedics can see what kind of epilepsy you have and what medication you take.

A person with epilepsy having a seizure should not be restrained, but sharp or dangerous objects should be moved out of reach. Anyone having a complex partial seizure can be warned away from danger
