Convulsions, or seizures, typically last from a few seconds to a few minutes. Most generalized tonic-clonic seizures last between 1 to 3 minutes, while focal seizures may be shorter. If a seizure lasts longer than 5 minutes, it is considered a medical emergency known as status epilepticus and requires immediate attention. Always consult a medical professional for specific concerns regarding seizures.
