Seizures

Seizures are caused by unusual electrical activity in the brain. A back injury would not directly cause that to happen. It is possible that someone with a back injury could also happen to have seizures. If seizures started around the same time as the back injury, then it would be important to know how the back injury was caused and if something else could have happened at the time which led to the start of seizures. Only a doctor that could examine the person could establish if there is any connection.

Epilepsy is scaring to the onlooker, in the old days when science had not advanced like today , people just said the epileptic person was possessed by the devil. Which was not true. Only the most severe seizures are like that. For many people having a seizure you would not see anything all as many seizures are very mild. Between those two extremes there are different levels. So for some you might see some shaking or brief activity, or the person may be talking to themselves, but very little else.

i dont think so when a worm went in my cat nothing happen

A medical condition known as canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome (CDS) causes disorientation, confusion, memory loss and personality changes that are very similar to Alzheimer's disease in humans. Canine Cognitive Dysfunction is sometimes referred to as "old dog syndrome", "brain aging", "doggie dementia" or "senility". Like Alzheimer's disease, the cause of Canine Cognitive Dysfunction is unknown, but physical evidence, found only in autopsies, reveals the same sort of degenerative brain lesions. With age, dogs, like humans, naturally accumulate deposits of beta amyloid, a nerve-damaging protein, in the brain. This starch-like protein builds up, becomes waxy, and forms plaque. As plaque builds up, it clogs the brain and inhibits the transmission of signals from the brain. In both Alzheimer's and Canine Cognitive Dysfunction, excessive senile plaque leads to more severe cognitive impairment. Some age-related changes, like a graying muzzle, are inevitable. Older dogs are more sensitive to temperature extremes and they move a bit slower. Dogs with Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome, however, experience changes in behavior which, like Alzheimer's, are not a normal part of aging. The main symptoms of CDS are summarized by the acronym DISH... Disorientation - Interaction changes - Sleep changes - and House soiling. These changes in behavior could be signs of Canine Cognitive Dysfunction.... Sometimes a disoriented dog....

Since seizures are a function of some condition in a patient's brain, a neurologist can first diagnose the source and type of seizures the patient has. There are several causes of seizures and it is vital to determine the exact cause. From there the neurologist will know how to treat the exact condition diagnosed whether by medication or surgery. The doctor will be able to prescribe the best medication or combination of medications available and tolerable by the patient. Not every anti-convulsant medication works in every situation. Sometimes more than one is needed and it takes some trial and error to determine the most effective treatment.

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.

There is a form of epilepsy known as photosensitive epilepsy. People who have that form can have a seizure as a result of flashing lights. They are a very small percentage of the people who have epilepsy. It is about 3% to 5%. For the vast majority of people who have epilepsy, flashing lights have no effect on them at all.

People on medication can still have seizures, but that does not mean that their seizures are being caused by the medication. There are many causes for seizures. 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.

They usually begin with a brief loss of consciousness and last between one and 10 seconds.

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.

It's thought the 3D tvs may trigger this as well.
