Best Answer

The only thing you can do with a seizure is let it run its course, so in terms of what not to do, you don't try to stop the seizure. You should not try to interfere with the person, only to make sure they are ok, and don't do themselves any unnecessary injury, like if they fall. Don't totally ignore them either. One other thing you should not do is panic. As the person is probably used to having seizures, they are normally more upsetting for those around them than for the person themselves. Not knowing what is going on if they have never seen one before, people will panic and get all sorts of crazy ideas as to what is happening and what they should do. It is human nature to do that, but as much as possible, don't panic. It won't help.

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.
