If someone begins to have a seizure, the first thing you should do is be sure they are in a safe area while seizing. Move away anything they could hit themselves on, especially their head. Do not attempt to put anything in their mouth, as this could cause choking. Also, do not try to hold on to them, or keep them from seizing. Simply keep them from hitting things (especially their head), and then get help for them.
What else can I help you with?
What happens if someone 16 years old that has their first seizure?

Is there a way to show evidence that someone had a seizure like in a CT scan etc?
Not really no, you can only determine it from patient history, first person observation or EEG changes during a seizure.
What kind of seizures are not epilepsy?
Anyone can have a seizure in their lifetime. Epilepsy is not really defined by the type of seizure, but how many someone has. If someone has recurring seizures, then they are diagnosed as having epilepsy. So someone could have one seizure in their life, which is the same kind as someone who has lots of them, but only the person that has lots of them would be said to have epilepsy. Some people who have epilepsy get lots of seizures that are all very minor. Another person could have one seizure in their life that is really bad, and never have another one. So although their seizure might be far worse than any the other person that has lots of minor ones has, it is the person that has lots of seizures that is diagnosed with epilepsy, not the person that may have one really bad one.Anyone can have a seizure in their lifetime.

What seizure is most fatal?
Seizures are extremely rarely fatal. People are more likely to die from another cause, such as falling from a high place when having a seizure. The most serious kind of seizure is a Grand Mal, and if a seizure itself is going to kill someone, it would have to be an extremely serious Grand Mal seizure. However the vast majority of Grand Mal seizures are not serious enough to cause serious damage, so people would not regard them as being a risk of death.
Can flying cause a seizure?
Epilepsy has a wide variety of forms, causes and severity. Most people with epilepsy would have absolutely no problem with flying. For some people stress can cause seizures.

So you can say that flying does not cause seizures.
What does having a seizure experience before their episode?
