Tonic-clonic seizures end in a final generalized spasm. The affected person can lose consciousness during tonic and clonic phases of seizure.
Tonic seizures seem to respond favorably to valproate, felbamate , and clonazepam.
The correct term is "grand mal seizure." This is a type of tonic-clonic seizure that features a loss of consciousness and violent muscle contractions.
The seizure usually lasts less than 10 seconds but may be as long as one minute.
no!! and it is a very bad idea to mix..u can and will have a tonic clonic seizure
which fruit is known as nature of tonic
Generally if it is a grand mal seizure (now known as tonic-clonic) where the person has fallen and is in convulsions, you do let the person "seize." By that is meant letting the seizure run its course. Do not try to restrain the person. Make sure the person will not strike or knock anything over that is nearby and never try to place anything in the person's mouth.
Generalized tonic-clonic seizures are associated with drug and alcohol abuse, and low levels of blood glucose (blood sugar) and sodium. Certain psychiatric medications, antihistamines, and even antibiotics can precipitate tonic-clonic seizures.
Tonic clonic seizures are the most common type of seizures. They can be dangerous to the sufferers of seizures because they could hurt themselves or choke while undergoing a seizure.
No, not in the least. A seizure is caused by many things, and is abnormal overactivity of neurons in the brain, causing the 'Tonic-Clonic' activity, or 'Grand-Mal Seizure'. An asthma attack is brought on by irritation to the airway, in which the bronchioles constrict and inflame, and later produce excess mucous. It is a respiratory disorder, whle a seizure is a neural emergency.
Generalized status can preferentially manifest with tonic, clonic, absence, and/or myoclonic seizures. Hence, status can be merely a prolongation of commonly observed individual seizure types.
It depends on the type and severity of the seizure. If the seizure state is one of status epilepticus (continuous, unended clonic-tonic seizures) that interferes with cardiopulmonary activity, then it is possible to die from that kind of seizure.
