What are some common auras associated with seizures?
An aura is a sensation that can happen before a seizure, often acting as a warning to the person that they are about to have one. Different people experience different things. It could be a feeling, like a tension or fear or nervousness. It could be a physical sensation, maybe a feeling in their mouth or their stomach or a tingling around their body. It could be a sensory perception or a feeling of confusion. Any of these and other things can be called an aura. It can be a warning of a seizure coming, but it is like a mini-seizure in itself and sometimes nothing else happens after it. To explain that aspect to someone who has never had a seizure you could refer to other kinds of experiences, like when you feel you are about to sneeze and then it doesn't happen. If they do have a seizure the aura may come immediately before the seizure or there may be a time delay of minutes or even as much as an hour before the seizure happens. A person will know they are having an aura and will remember that, though they will not remember a seizure itself. Although there are different kinds of auras any individual that gets auras will normally always have the same type of one. Auras can also happen for other conditions to do with the head, like migraines.

Seizing.It's not 'seizing.'

If this doesn't fit into your sentence, you might simply want to reword your sentence.

What causes an Epileptic seizure?
Epilepsy is not a specific illness, but more a general term for people who tend to have seizures. A seizure is as a result of an increased amount of electrical activity in the brain. There are different forms of epilepsy and different people have different triggers for their seizures. Something that may trigger epilepsy in one person might have no affect on another person. You often hear that flashing lights, strobe lights etc. cause epileptic seizures. That only has the potential to trigger a seizure with people who have what is called photosensitive epilepsy. Other people who have epilepsy have abslolutely no porblems with flashing lights. For other people it could be tiredness or stress for example. Some may have epilepsy after receiving a head injury, like if they had been in a car accident. There are many other reasons. For some it isn't even certain what causes their seizures.
