Seizures come in many types and symptoms, affecting epileptics and non-epileptics. There are six common types of seizures, with distinct stages and symptoms. Partial seizures can also occur, causing brief moments of uncontrolled movements or memory loss. A doctor should always be consulted.
There are many types of seizures, including mild seizures, grand mal seizures, clonic, and atonic seizures. Seizures are commonly experienced by epilepsy sufferers, but anyone can have a seizure. Symptoms of seizures vary, but there are usually clear stages affecting someone suffering a seizure. They usually include loss of muscle control, collapse, seizures, and loss of bladder control. People experiencing seizures typically should not be touched unless a doctor is present to prevent further injury.
People with epilepsy experience many types and symptoms of seizures, depending on their situation and medical condition. Epileptics may experience an epileptic response to stimuli such as flashing lights or simply have a seizure in response to chemical changes in their bodies. Epileptics most commonly experience six seizure types: absence, grand mal, clonic, atonic, tonic, and myoclonic.
Absence seizures involve fainting or fainting, with the sufferer temporarily losing consciousness. Grand mal seizures, sometimes called generalized tonic-clonic seizures, are “classic” seizures, with the sufferer falling to the ground and having seizures while unconscious. Grand mal seizures cause muscle stiffness and foaming saliva at the mouth. Atonic seizures make the epileptic lame, while tonic seizures make him stiff and stiff. Clonic and myoclonic seizures cause stiff, jerky movements in the patient.
In addition to full seizures, people can experience partial seizures that don’t include the traditional signs of seizures, such as seizures or loss of consciousness. Partial seizures affect a person for only a brief moment and can cause uncontrolled jerky movements, lip smacking, head shaking, or teeth grinding. Partial seizures can also cause temporary memory loss. Partial seizures sometimes involve loss of motor function or bladder control, without complete loss of consciousness. These seizure symptoms can occur frequently if left untreated.
Crises have distinct developmental stages, with clear beginnings, middle and end stages. At each stage, there are unique seizure symptoms that can signal that a patient is about to have one or is almost done with one. In the initial stage of an attack, a person may experience stress, racing thoughts, or even euphoria, combined with a sense of deja vu, confusion, or strange sensory perception. The person may also experience numbness, nausea, or dizziness before the more severe symptoms of seizures take effect. The middle stage of a seizure is when the common signs of seizures, such as loss of consciousness and muscle control, occur, along with electric shock sensations and blurred vision. The end of an attack is often characterized by confusion, poor communication skills, and pain for a short time.
There are many types and symptoms of seizures that affect epileptics. Of course, anyone can experience an attack at any time, even without warning. Whenever an attack occurs, a doctor must be consulted.
