Convulsions would be one term used. In more ancient times, when epilepsy was not understood, people having a seizure might have been thought to have been possessed by some demon. So while it is not a direct term for epilepsy and should not be used, people talking about someone being possessed, might in reality have been just talking about someone having a seizure because they did not understand it.
