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 end in a final generalized spasm. The affected person can lose consciousness during tonic and clonic phases of seizure.
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.
Tonic-clonic seizures tend to respond to valproate, carbamazepine, phenytoin, and lamotrigine.
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.
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!! and it is a very bad idea to mix..u can and will have a tonic clonic seizure
The type of seizure that involves uncontrolled muscular contractions is called a tonic-clonic seizure, previously known as a grand mal seizure. During this seizure, the individual experiences a tonic phase characterized by stiffening of the muscles, followed by a clonic phase involving rhythmic jerking movements. These seizures can result in loss of consciousness and may last for a few minutes.
Yes you can. Myself, I suffer from Tonic-Clonic seizures, Nocturnal Seizures which are also Tonic-Clonic and Absence or Partial Complex....it's one of those two...pretty sure it's the Absence type.
Yes, a seizure can wake someone from deep sleep. Seizures, particularly generalized tonic-clonic seizures, can cause significant physical activity and changes in brain activity, which may disrupt sleep. The intensity of the seizure can lead to abrupt arousal, pulling the person out of deep sleep. However, the individual may remain confused or disoriented following the seizure.
This type of seizure many people think of when they hear the word epilepsy. Marked by loss of consciousness and stiffening and/or jerking of the muscles throughout the body, including arms and legs, these seizures are often referred to as grand mal seizures. The term tonic-clonic refers to certain kinds of body movements that appear during the seizures. Tonic means sudden stiffening of the limbs; clonic refers to rhythmic jerking.

Spreading of the epileptiform (seizure)discharge during complex partial seizures can result in secondary generalization(which means a partial seizure may spread within the brain-a process known as secondary generalization )with a tonic-clonic convulsion(generalized seizures).so yes,complex partial seizures can become generalized.The mechanism of how this happens is not fully understood in medicine but there are various explanations !!!
