Seizures can be caused by various factors, including disruption to the brain’s electrical impulses, intense mental trauma or stress, flashing lights, and certain medications. Signs of an attack include blurred vision, tingling, and a funny taste in the mouth. Seizures are typically divided into three stages: the beginning, the middle, and the end. People may wince involuntarily, have their eyes roll back into their heads, and experience incontinence, rapid heartbeat, and tongue biting. After an attack, people may feel exhausted and have a severe headache.
Signs of an attack just before it occurs typically include blurred vision, tingling, or a funny taste in the mouth. A person about to have a seizure may occasionally have an intense feeling of deja vu. Many people have no signs of an attack before it happens. People who have epilepsy often experience seizures, but they can be a problem for people without epilepsy as well. In many cases, nonepileptic seizures are caused by intense mental trauma or stress.
Seizures are typically divided into three stages: the beginning, the middle and the end. During the initial part of an attack, people may tend to feel the initial symptoms, such as blurry vision and a tingling sensation. These initial signs of a seizure are occasionally referred to as the seizure aura and in many cases help a person prepare for the episode. During the middle part of a seizure, a person may begin to have seizures and pass out completely. The final part of a seizure usually involves a person returning to his or her normal state of mind, and he or she may or may not remember experiencing the seizure.
During a seizure, people tend to wince involuntarily and their eyes may roll back into their heads. Incontinence, rapid heartbeat, and tongue biting are also common. Some people may not be able to move at all. Also, if a person is conscious during an attack, they may feel panicked and frightened. After an attack, many people tend to feel exhausted and may have a severe headache.
Non-epileptic people who experience seizures tend to recover faster from the experience than people with epilepsy. Many of the same signs of a seizure are present during a nonepileptic seizure, but there may be some differences. People who have psychologically induced seizures may have jerky movements, but these movements tend to be more voluntary and the movements usually increase in intensity during the seizure. During a seizure, people typically don’t cry or scream aloud, but during a psychologically induced seizure it is quite common for a person to scream and make other sounds.
Most seizures are a direct result of disruption to the brain’s electrical impulses. Some things that trigger seizures in people with epilepsy might include not taking their prescribed medications, flashing lights, and drinking or smoking too much. Changes in hormones can also trigger seizures in women with epilepsy. In addition to the psychological trauma, people who do not have epilepsy may experience seizures due to various diseases, abnormally high fevers, and certain medications, including penicillin.
