An epileptic seizure which cuasesconvulsions of the body?
A "Grand Mal" seizure is likely to have that sort of affect.
Can electro stimulation cause a seizure in a person who has never had a seizure?
Yes, electroconvulsive therapy can cause a seizure in people that have never had a seizure. However, beyond that, general electrical stimulation on the body (such as with a TENS machine) should not induce a seizure in a person who is not an epileptic.
How does a seizure form?
it is when neurons interact wit each other. and it makes your body shakes / also known as a seizure
Can a panic attack cause a seizure?
No. A panic attack is caused by an emotional disorder, while a seizure is caused by a physical condition. If you were having a seizure you would not be aware of things around you, nor would you have any control over your body. In a panic attack you are extremely aware of your body and your surroundings, and have control of your body.
What happens to the body as a result of epilepsy?
it all depends on what type of seizure that you have will depend on what will happen to the body
What is an seizure that involves the entire body?
It is called a Grand Mal seizure. It is caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. It is characterized by violent muscle contractions and unconsciousness.
How do you know when a seizure is going to start?
well, there are many types of seizures. if someone is having a grand mal, the person will become unconcious and either become stiff, jerk their body, or both. when someone has a simple partial seizure, you sometimes cant tell at all. but, when having a simple seizure, someones arm or leg will twitch or jerk. with a complex partial seizure, the person will become unconcious, and maybe jerk their body.
What type of seizure has loss of bladder control?
A grand mal seizure has more impact on the body generally, so it is more likely to affect bladder control, though that will not necessarily happen.
Do you eyes always dilate after a seizure?
Not always. While pupil dilation can occur during or after a seizure due to the body's response to stress or neurological activity, this is not a universal symptom. The degree and presence of dilation can vary depending on the individual, the type of seizure, and other factors. It's important to consult a medical professional for a comprehensive understanding of seizure symptoms.
Why would a person having a seizure develop hypothermia?
A person having a seizure may develop hypothermia due to several factors, including prolonged muscle activity and increased metabolic demand during the seizure, which can lead to heat loss if the individual is not in a warm environment. Additionally, seizures can impair the body's ability to regulate temperature, particularly if there is a postictal state (the period following the seizure) where the person may be less responsive. If the seizure occurs in a cold environment or the individual is unable to generate adequate body heat, this can further contribute to the risk of hypothermia.
What happens When a seizure causes autonomic symptoms?
When a seizure causes autonomic symptoms, the body's involuntary functions, such as heart rate, blood pressure, and sweating, can become disrupted. This may result in symptoms like increased heart rate, changes in body temperature, and gastrointestinal disturbances. Autonomic seizures often stem from the autonomic nervous system being involved in the seizure activity, which can lead to a variety of physical responses. These symptoms can significantly impact the individual's overall experience during and after the seizure.
Why do you pee when you have a seizure?
During a seizure, the body's autonomic nervous system can become overactive, leading to a loss of bladder control. This can result in involuntary urination as the muscles that control the bladder may not function properly. Additionally, the intense physical activity and muscle contractions during a seizure can contribute to this involuntary response. It's important for caregivers to understand this phenomenon as part of seizure management.
