The seizure usually lasts less than 10 seconds but may be as long as one minute.
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.
A single seizure would not last that long, but people can get lots of seizures one after the other. If that happens they should be hospitalised.
no!! and it is a very bad idea to mix..u can and will have a tonic clonic seizure
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.
The period of time after the seizure has ended. POST (after), ICTAL (seizure). Can last anywhere from minutes to days.
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.
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.
