There are a lot of different types of seizures, with different symptoms ranging from mild to life-threatening. Most people think of a seizure as convulsions, which occur frequently with grand mal seizures. However, a type of seizure called petit mal will have no convulsions or often visible symptoms at all. The person simply has what is sometimes called a "staring spell", a brief period where brain function is disturbed usually lasting 10-15 seconds.

What should you record following a seizure?

When it happened. How long it lasted. The type of seizure. How the person felt before and after the seizure. Did they have an aura? Any potential reasons for the seizure. If you are the person who has had the seizure, some of the information can obviously only be got by someone who saw the seizure, so you will need to talk to them. If no one saw it, just record what you know. If you are recording details of another person's seizure, then you will need to get some information from them.


How can you tell that you had a seizure?

well, i have had two complex partial seizures in my whole life. when you have a partial seizure, you see an aura, or light that blocks your vision, and you sometimes become unconcious. i have not had a seizure for a very long time. if you have a grand mall seizure, you smell an intense smell or see something. your vision can become blurry. then, you usually become unconcious and start to become stiff or jerk your body. many people have seizures every day. and many people don't. seizures are symptoms of epilepsy.
