Seizures
 | Everyone has the potential to have seizures.
Some people have them frequently. Seizure disorders vary tremendously.
Some people have only an occasional seizure, and other people have daily
or more frequent seizures.
There are many different types of seizures. Seizure activity may range
from simple blank staring to loss of consciousness with spasticity or
muscle jerking.
Generally, a seizure should be considered an emergency in these
situations:
-Seizures that do not stop within a few minutes.
-Prolonged confusion remains after the seizure (more than 10-15
minutes).
-The person is not responsive after a seizure.
-The person has trouble breathing.
-The person is injured during the seizure.
-The seizure is a first-time seizure.
-There is a significant change in the type or character of the seizure
from that person's usual seizure pattern. |
