What is it called when you have seizures often?

User Avatar

Asked by Questionaire77

Seizing.

It's not 'seizing.' Seizing is, by definition, 'a knot or lashing made using thin rope or wire, e.g. to join two ropes or to secure an item of ship's gear.'

I think that the right phrase is just, 'having a seizure.' If this doesn't fit into your sentence, you might simply want to reword your sentence.

What is a minor seizure?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A minor seizure can be something as simple as a slight lapse in concentration by a person. They are sometimes called absence seizures or petit mals. They might just last a few seconds and the person will be fine again. They could be so slight that no one else would even notice anything would have happened. It could be a bit longer and the person might appear to be daydreaming or in a daze for a short period of time, and soon come back to normal. That is not to say that anyone who is daydreaming is having a seizure, so it should not be mistaken for that. If someone has a history of minor seizures, then it is likely to be what is happening.

If you follow the instructions with your medication and those of your doctor, your medication should not cause any major problems. Taking the correct dosage and at the right times is important. Some seizure medication does have side-effects, but you will get that information from your doctor.

There is something called TV-induced epilepsy. It's not really caused by watching too much tv actually. Some people are sensitive to flickering lights (photosensitive) and rapid tv images can induce seizure in some people.

What will a dog do when having a seizure?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A dog will do much the same thing as a person does when they have a seizure. My old dog had seizures and several friends of mine do as well and they are similar. They will drop and spasm until it passes. Just wait until its over and then check on the dog to make sure they are all right and haven't say bitten their tongue or peed on themselves, then of course take care of things accordingly. If your worried about anything then take them to the vet and have them looked over.

Do seizures cause reading disability?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not directly. If someone has Epilepsy it maybe as a result of some damage to the brain. If they have some damage to the brain, that may impair their ability to learn. In that situation, their epilepsy is just another symptom of the same thing that is causing their learning difficulties. Not everyone that has learning difficulties has epilepsy. Most people with epilepsy are well capable of learning and it has no impact on their capacity to learn. If their epilepsy causes them to miss out on regular education, which would only be with someone who has severe epilepsy, that will obviously affect their learning.
