Tonic-Clonic seizuresThe person goes stiff, loses consciousness and then falls to the ground. This is followed by jerking movements. A blue tinge around the mouth is likely. This is due to irregular breathing. Loss of bladder and/or bowel control may happen. After a minute or two the jerking movements should stop and consciousness may slowly return.

If this is whats happening you should protect the casualty from dangers, support and cushion the head, put in the recovery position to aid breathing, stay with the casualty till they recover and reassure them calmly.

You know that it is the persons first seizure, if it lasts for more than 5 minutes, if the have another seizure without recovering from the first, if you believe the casualty to be getting worse or needs urgent medical attention.

Focal (partial) seizuresSometimes the person is not aware of their surroundings or what they are doing. They may pluck at their clothes, smack their lips, swallow repeatedly, and wander around.

If this happening then guide the casualty away from danger, stay with them and reassure them until they recover.
