Seizures

yes

Generalized clonic seizures are rare and seen typically in children with elevated fever. These seizures are characterized by a rapid loss of consciousness, decreased muscle tone, and generalized spasm that is followed by jerky movements.

A quick seizure of power is called a coup d'etat.

Dogs can have seizures from an excess of external stimuli (ie, sound & light), and this includes trauma or physical shock to the body. So yes, getting hit can cause a dog to have a seizure, especially if they have been diagnosed with epilepsy.

Yes I have had several since the mirena was taken out

epilepsy

Generally not.

It is addictive and withdrawal from it can lead to seizures but the drug itself usually does not.

Why would aspirin prevent seizures? Get your dog to the vet... Actually, aspirin does have some anti-seizure effect. See, e.g., Aspirin modulates the anticonvulsant effect of diazepam and sodium valproate in pentylenetetrazole and maximal electroshock induced seizures in mice. Srivastava AK, Gupta YK. Neuropharmacology Laboratory, Department of Pharmacology, All India Institute Of Medical Sciences, New Delhi-110 029. Evaluation of antiepileptic activity of aspirin in combination with newer antiepileptic lamotrigine in mice. Tandon M, Anuradha K, Pandhi P. Department of Pharmacology, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education & Research, Chandigarh-160012, India. What isn't in these two articles is information of a practical nature for canine epilepsy. Run it by your vet, but I would not be surprised if it might be of some benefit.

It certainly sounds like a seizure. He should consult with a doctor. I have seen a study that infers that modern cannabis is much stronger than it was years ago and could possibly cause seizures. I also saw a conversation thread where someone said their spouse had smoked pot for 30+ years, but started having seizures. Because of the seizures, he stopped smoking which seemed to stop the seizures.

Your friend still should go to a doctor to make sure nothing else is going on.

When an animasuch as dog has a seizure it will shake while laying on the floor. Do not touch te dog because it is frightened and unaware of its surroundings so you may get bit. All you can do it talk to the dog and help it culm down. After the seizure he or she may be very tired and go to sleep. They often do not beathe during the seizure and if they are panting that is why and it is normal. You need t stay culm while anyone a peson or an animal has a seizure and allow them to know that they are safe.

Anxiety more commonly gives rise to seizure-like activity called pseudoseizures (without the incontinence or post-ictal period, for instance). This can occur in those individuals already vulnerable to true seizures.

They are caused by electrons misfiring in your brain, which is triggered by something. However, there are many triggers, some of them are unknown. Some common ones are flashing lights, sleep deprivation, stress - the most common one, however, is skipping your medications. For more information, talk to your neurologist or check out a website called www.epilepsyfoundation.org

Simple partial seizures do not spread from the focal area where they arise. Symptoms are determined by the part of the brain affected. The patient usually remains conscious during the seizure and can later describe it in detail.

it is not exactly clear how it works, but it treats epilepsy (seizures). However, studies suggest that the drug may work by affecting sodium channels in the brain, thus, preventing the unnatural activity from spreading to other areas. This action helps control seizures.

Exactly how Lamictal works to treat bipolar disorder is also unclear. Clinical studies have shown that people taking the drug went longer without having an episode of mania or depression, compared to those not taking it.

Grand mal epilepsy is a major seizure and petit mal epilepsy is a minor seizure. A grand mal epilepsy seizure is a seizure that causes a person to have a loss of consciousness, loss of muscle coordination and can cause loss of bowel and bladder. Petit mal epilepsy seizures may cause uncontrollable twitching or movement in a smaller part of the body. Both petit mal epilepsy and grand mal epilepsy seizures are caused by too much activity in the brain.

Live as normal a life as possible. For most people that have epilepsy, it does not affect most aspects of their lives. They may be restricted in some ways, but most things they can do perfectly normally. It is only if they get very serious seizures and get them very regularly, that it has any major impact on their lives. If you have epilepsy, then talk to your doctor about it and they will tell you where your limits are. Everyone is different.

NO! its not normal!!! take your kitty to the vet now, if it is a problem with money you can take it to the human society or spca and they can treat your kitty really cheaply and you can pay in payments

Epilepsy (sometimes referred to as a seizure disorder) is a common chronic neurological condition that is characterized by recurrent unprovoked epileptic seizures. These seizures are transient signs and/or symptoms due to abnormal excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain. It affects approximately 50 million people worldwide. Epilepsy is usually controlled, but not cured, with medication, although surgery may be considered in difficult cases. Not all Epilepsy syndromes are lifelong, for example some are confined to particular stages of childhood.

well, i have had two complex partial seizures in my whole life. when you have a partial seizure, you see an aura, or light that blocks your vision, and you sometimes become unconcious. i have not had a seizure for a very long time.

if you have a grand mall seizure, you smell an intense smell or see something. your vision can become blurry. then, you usually become unconcious and start to become stiff or jerk your body.

many people have seizures every day. and many people don't. seizures are symptoms of epilepsy.

Yes. Brain damage in the occipital cortex region can cause total blindness (no light perception), but retina detachment or optic nerve avulsion from head trauma can cause partial blindness, or blindness in only one eye.

Once a seizure is finished, a person will soon start to get back to normal. Within hours or even minutes, they will be fine. If they had a very bad seizure, they may feel unwell for some time, maybe still feeling a little unwell the day after, like still having a bit of a headache. They may not have another seizure for a very long time. So there may be nothing particular that will happen days after a seizure. Everything will be back to normal long before that.

Someone will know they have had a seizure because they will often feel it coming, and they will feel themselves coming out of it. There will also be a time gap between those two and they may not feel well. Someone who has had lots of seizures will be familiar with one coming on and how they feel after it. People don't remember what happens during a seizure because they are not fully conscious. It is like as if they are day dreaming or asleep and then wake up. In the same way people don't know what happens when they are asleep, someone who has had a seizure won't know what will have happened during the actual seizure. They may remember dreaming sometimes, like we do when we sleep, but not always. Some very mild seizures will not result in a loss of consciousness and may last seconds, so the person will know something has happened, but bigger ones will result in a loss of consciousness and they won't remember being in the seizure because of that.

actually yes. its nothing to be worried about. they shouldn't last long. its just like when your body starts to twitch after smoking sometimes, but it is a little more intense. i would sit or lay down though, just in case you fall or something.

Edit: I've seen in happen several times. At parties, friend's living rooms, etc. At worst, I've seen peoples eyes roll to the back of their heads, followed by violent shaking. It shouldn't be a big worry, just make sure your buddy is somewhere where he's not going to hurt himself too badly.
