Seizures

The symptoms after a seizure is called "post ictal"= mening the state after a seizure. Most patients after a grand mal seizure (convulsions) are confused. They might stare in the space, they might talk and communicate but they are not aware of what they are doing. They must not be allowed to drive or operate machinery and they must avoid heights to avoid fall and injury. If the convulsions were strong, they might experience muscle pains and headaches.

At this post-ictal state, most patients might already have boitten tongue or might be incontinent of urine. In sum, it is a state of confusion.

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.

Many types of seizures are controllable with medication. The problem is that many are not. Most people with a chronic seizure condition (epilepsy) can have their seizures well controlled with medications, yet once in a while if they are ill or under extreme stress, they may have an occasional one. Other seizures are caused by medical conditions and are usually one of the symptoms of increasing illness. There are medications that can be given to control these seizures as well, but they are only truly resolved if the condition that caused them is resolved. The last kind are febrile seizures. They often occur in young children, only require medication if they are frequent, and the children often "grow out" of the condition as they mature. If you are having seizures, or know someone who is, please encourage a visit with a good doctor who can find the reasons for them and may be able to get them well under control.

Epilepsy is not considered until you have had more than one seizure. In order to be diagnosed with epilepsy, a neurologist will have an EEG done. This reads the electrical activity in your brain. From there, the doctor can determine weather or not you are epileptic.

Some things may trigger a seizure, but on the other hand, seizures may be a natural "mal-function" of the brain. Pictures on a TV screen can trigger a seizure or being overwhelmed can trigger a seizure. It is known that some people can reduce or completely stop their seizures with meditation and removing the negative things in your everyday life.

Seizures are sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbances in the brain that can lead to changes in behavior, movements, feelings, or consciousness. They can vary in severity and duration, ranging from brief lapses in awareness to violent convulsions. Seizures are often classified into different types based on their symptoms and the areas of the brain involved. Conditions like epilepsy, head injuries, or infections can trigger seizures.
