Why is an epileptic shock?
It is possible to die from an epileptic seizure, but it is extremely rare. It would have to be a very severe seizure to do that. You can die indirectly as a result of a seizure, like if you fell from a high place as a result of a seizure or were engaged in some other dangerous activity and had a seizure. This is why people with epilepsy are not advised to drive. Having a seizure while driving could result in a crash and the death of the driver. The death would be a result of the crash, not the seizure itself. Most seizures in themselves are not dangerous. They may cause a temporary loss of conciousness. For most situations that is not a problem and the seizure will pass and the person will recover. That is what happens for the vast majority of people who have seizures. They lead very normal and long lives.
Can you use an epi pen for seizures?
Epinephrine will NOT help to stop seizures, epinephrine autoinjectors are strictly meant for anaphylaxis. If the person experiences a seizure while having an anaphylactic response (hypoxia due to bronchial constriction) it should be given. If given epinephrine for a seizure due to epilepsy, it will most likely make the seizure worse by stimulating the CNS even more. Valium autoinjectors may soon become popular for epileptic type seizures.
Which game can cause epileptic seizures?
I don't know if all people who are photosensitive are sensitive about the same colour's and lights but in my case, i think World of Warcraft has triggered my seizures. I have been tested for epilepsy by EEG but they could not see anything. But my 3 seizures (grand mal/tonic clonic f.y.i) have always occurred while I've been playing for many many hours, and all 3 cases have been when i have been playing World of Warcraft + fatigue.
How dangerous are seizures?

Is epilepsy risky?
It can be, but it is often a case of where and when you have a seizure. So if you had a seizure while standing at the top of a ladder, you would be in great danger. The danger of having one while driving is why many people with epilepsy do not drive and there are restrictions in countries for people who have epilepsy driving. With common sense, people who get seizures can keep themselves out of dangerous situations. As for seizures in themselves, they usually pose little or no risk. Some people can get very severe seizures that can pose a danger to them, but that is a minority of people who have epilepsy.
