How to help if someone has a tonic clonic seizure - Epilepsy Action Employer Toolkit

[@jayaom4946]

I like this video but I wish they would mention that when people come around they are often confused and disoriented. They might not be able to speak and /or they might speak in jibberish. It's helpful to be calm with them but also treat them as respectfully as possible. I'll always remember when I woke up in an ambulance after having a seizure while biking with my toddler child. I kept asking where my son was and they kept telling me to "be calm, everything was fine". This made me upset and worried. He was in a car seat behind my head, I was in a stretcher. He was happy to have the ride in the ambulance. Sometimes people would like to be filled in on what happened since the seizure, especially if they're in a different place and definitely if their children are involved! I always want to be assured of the safety of my kids.

[@mattmammone2338]

I hate that feeling. It feels like I was gone for days. When I was able to stand I looked at a clock but I couldn't read it, the digital clock just looked like strange symbols. I know of a new medication which is valium in a nasal spray. Its pretty good.

[@jaredstevens5382]

I thought you are suppose to put something in their mouth because they could bite their tongue off. Hmm

[@alyssacunningham4670]

Never stick anything in the mouth during any seizure plz

[@caramelcandy4595]

Agree I have not been diagnosed and still don't know what happened but fainted. When I woke up in an ambulance at the hospital all the paramedic kept asking me was I taking illegal drugs, tell him the truth and I needed to calm down. I had no idea where I was and how I got there. I am missing about an hour of my life with no memory and scrolling KZbin trying to figure out what happened. I hate after being discharged from the hospital to be given a packet of paperwork to call doctors for appointments without knowing why to be told the wait is 2 months from now. For over 50 years I have been rather healthy minus the 50 extra pounds to lose according to the new weight guidelines to whatever this is.

[@authenticmslife]

@@caramelcandy4595 I'm in a similar situation. I've had two seizure or seizure-like events now and we still don't know for sure if they were seizures or fainting spells. After the first one it was about two months before I could even talk to a doctor or get any tests done because no one at the ER took it very seriously. After those first two months of me freaking out and trying to figure out what had happened, things had settled down and it was looking more like a fainting spell (syncope) as was suspected by several doctors. But then I had another one nine months later that seems to point more now to a seizure. At least this time I have had quicker follow up tests and doctors appts. but it's still all very frustrating. Plus now they have me on anti-seizure meds that make my brain even foggier and my memory worse. And it may not even be needed, but we don't know. I recommend researching POTS and Vasovagal Syncope as they cause events that can look a lot like seizures. Also look into PNES. God bless and I hope you are able to get some answers.

Epilepsy re-introduced itself into my life in 2019 due to the immense stress I was going through as my closest relatives were passing away and my work place at the time was less than sympathetic. For 11 years I succeeded in stopping my Tonic Clonic seizures without medication but moral and psychological support from family.. from 2008-2019 I was living a life without fear of having an attack... but they have almost caused me to meet my demise on numerous occasions... from having a seizure behind the wheel of my car and crashing, a seizure which resulted in falling 70ft down a steep cliff, one that resulted in me nearly drowning in my own vomit, to one where I nearly fractured my skull.. Epilepsy is hard to accept, but when you do it opens your mind to the fact you can continue doing what you love and living life... but you also learn to respect it's unpredictability.. Godbless all those out there who have it, we're all in this together.. ❤#epilepsyawareness

[@epilepsygangster]

I've had epilepsy my entire life and ironically have never seen a seizure. This was helpful.

This is a great video with many helpful tips. I would only add that sometimes it's important to help the person to their side even while they are having the seizure when there's a risk that they may aspirate on their saliva.

I thought it was only enough to turn their head to the side so they don’t bite their tongue and putting the entire body to the side may cause restraint with the arm or restrain them.

[@aliakhtar3558]

What I have learned As a Epilepsy Patient • It’s hard to bear, but we cannot lose hope to get healthy one day. • We can reduce ratio of attacks, if we follow doctor’s advices in our daily routine. • We have to spread awareness about epilepsy, and show the world that nothing is impossible in life. • There are many people who are suffering from epilepsy, but they are living their lives very happily. • It’s a continuous struggle to keep Yourself focus on your goals rather then worry about your disease.

I really needed this. I’ve been doing everything wrong. My dad keeps having these seizures ever since his stroke 3 years ago. My mum was usually the one with him but now she’s passed. At least I know what to do now. Thank you

[@imontheinternet6823]

This has actually happened to me before on multiple occasions almost just like this according to people that saw me fall out. And when you come to it's a crazy thing because you don't know what exactly happened and you are extremely disoriented and that doesn't even count what happens afterwards for the next three or four days of the constant pain and everything else that comes with the aftermath. I'm so glad this video is out there to teach how to help somebody!!! Believe me having a seizure is no joke!!!

[@vickycarden1511]

I know what you mean on Jan 28th my new job I really dont know what happened. I could heat but can't respond. One lady who was supposed to be training me was saying get up you have work to do. When I broke out I didn't know where I was so one of the co workers drove me home. I someone called 911. I was in the ER mainly checking up. My boyfriend came over on Saturday I had another one. I called off from work today. My body just so out of it. Mentally I am afraid of people who work where I work now would ask me questions.

[@SECERETSONG]

When a seizure like this occurs, the person will likely drool profusely. If their on their back like the woman in the video, they will be in danger of choking on their saliva. They will need to be positioned so that the saliva has a way of exiting. As hard as it will be to do, you must find a way to turn them on to their side or at least turn their head if at all possible. Or, depending on where they fall, find a way to elevate their head. Some people will fall and land on their side or on their front which will help the saliva escape. Also, right after a seizure, the person won't be responsive. Then, when their eyes open and it seems as though they will function normally, they will usually be in a state of disorientation and speaking will be difficult, often jibberish. Hope this adds to what you all saw. I'm the niece of a wonderful soul who has had Epilepsy he whole life.

I just had my first seizures about a week ago (that we know of). They were tonic clonic, incredibly violent, and the spams likely fractured my arm. I'm still not fully recovered. I'm lucky in the sense that I get auras, but I didn't know what they were until after the fact. I'm just lucky that my spouse is smart and knew what it was right away. We have been together for 10 years and I have not once had a seizure the entire time. Then a week ago, I had 6 in one night. I now share this video with everyone that is around me often, so they know what to do if/when I have another one. I'm heavily medicated for it, so I hope and pray it lasts a long time.

[@dr-dorky]

As a person who has had tonic-clonic seizures for well around 10 years, this is useful information for those who are with a friend or relative who have them. My mom and brother are very well-aware of what to do, like lay me on the side, take me to bed once the seizure ends and I can take the time to recover. However, for me, the recovery takes longer because even after I come around, my limbs feel weak after all the jerking around and shaking.

[@mohammedhusain6446]

Is it curable? Is it happen bcuz of genetics or some kind of viral or bactirial or neural disease?

[@dr-dorky]

@@mohammedhusain6446 Seizures are not based on diseases, no. At least, not for the most part. They're often caused by elevated blood sugar levels, a misfire of neurons in the brain and/or trauma. They can be controlled with good sleep, singing(stimulating the vagus nerve helps) and/or prescription drugs(which only made my seizures worse). My tonic-clonic seizures are hormone-based, so they're not exactly curable.

[@dr-dorky]

@@farahlajeennoural-deen4599 I hear, see and know things just before the blackout suddenly occurs and I try to speak before the seizure itself happens. When I wake up, however, it's oftentimes very hard to swallow properly, the mouth and throat feel dry and your limbs feel weak, again due to tensing up so much. The convulsions also cause headaches. It's absolutely not a pleasant sensation at all, especially if you try to stand up only to fall down again because you're so weak.

[@Mloofylicious]

Very instructive. I got epilepsy myself since childhood and was seizure-for a while but it started again in 2012. I'm on medication. But what I know from my own experience is that it started in the pre-birth foetal phase of brain development where some of the cells were not in their proper place which causes electric waves, manifesting themselves as seizures. It's called heterotopia nodularis.

Coming around isn’t that easy. Speech is hard at first; you don’t just sit up and start answering questions. The confusion can last for a couple of days, taking into account that part of that may be due to concussion and lack of oxygen. Someone so rigid and shaking isn’t going to be breathing.

There is a pretty famous pastor who is also a martial arts world champion. He had a seizure and was combative (I gather during and after). So they tried to put him in restraints when wheeling him into the ER on the gurney. But they couldn't keep him down because he's so good at getting out of them, being basically a ninja, lol!! I imagine he was very apologetic afterwards. Thankfully my seizures (if that's what they are. We don't really know for sure yet) just make me mellow and wiped out, so I'm not too combative when I start coming to. I can totally imagine getting super cranky with my husband while in that state, though, haha!

[@kelseyann6748]

Wonderful video, thank you. I have epilepsy and was diagnosed just over a year ago, and I would just like to add a few extra things in case it could help someone who comes across this video. If possible, you want to turn the person onto their side *during* the seizure (not just after), as to keep their airway clear from saliva and/or blood (if they bite their tongue). Second tip, another time to call an ambulance is when the person does not regain consciousness soon after the seizure, or if they are violent and/or combative when they regain consciousness. When I had my first ever seizure, I apparently seemed to regain consciousness in the ambulance, but I was extremely violent and combative and screaming like an absolute maniac, probably because of the immense immense confusion and panic my brain was still under at the time. I still have no memory of any of it. Lastly, a person may be extremely confused for minutes, hours, or even days after a seizure. My seizure last year, it happened at about 8pm at night, did not have any memory of anything whatsoever until I walked out of the hospital doors in the morning, but i was still extremelyy confused and out of it for another few hours couldn’t even follow a conversation still, and then had very heavy brain fog for a week after that. Yet my second seizure ever, totally different recovery process. But just know that it’s normal.

[@aassumeed619]

[@skittlepuff]

People get combative in a postical state. It’s very common so don’t think you’re a bad person. You don’t have control and anyone who knows anything about seizures knows this. EMS knew for sure.

I am a caretaker. And a lot of the individuals in my care are prone to seizures. A lot of them have a VNS, or a Vagus Nerve Stimulator. Which is an implant that uses a magnet to help seizures, or even stop them. This comes in very handy in many situations. Because seizures can often happen out of nowhere and it's easy to get overwhelmed when it happens. It's also very important that the person responding to the person having a seizure to be calm. It allows for a better outcome, I've noticed

What’s with “tonic clonic”? That’s a really bizarre, unwieldy name for a type of seizure. Grand mal had a dignified, regal-sounding ring to it…tonic clonic sounds like a “cleanse” involving hoses, spa music and a practitioner who says stuff like “ok, this part might feel a little funny”.

[@danielledewitt1]

Tonic clonic is a grand mal seizure.

I am here because for years my loved one has had complex partial seizures. About a week ago they suffered a tonic clonic seizure and required an ambulance. They were currently on medication. It was friightening but their carers did the right thing, kept calm and called the ambulance. It appears that this may become an issue which is so distressing. We are learning alll we can so we can do what is best for them.

[@santranslate]

When the person is having seizures, will he/she be able to breathe during? And what to do if that occurs? Thanks in advance.

[@epilepsyaction]

Thank you for your comment. During a tonic clonic seizure it is likely that someone’s breathing will become irregular and they may stop breathing at points. This can result in someone’s lips turning blue. After a tonic clonic seizure has finished the person's breathing should go back to normal. If they are still having trouble breathing after a seizure, or if a seizure lasts longer than 5 minutes, then our guidance says you should call for an ambulance. Rosie Helpline team

Hi Thanks for your comment. This would be a difficult and scary situation. We're not aware of any official guidance on this in the UK.

And then follow seizure first aid advice as best as you can. However, you may not be able to put the person into the recovery position, for example. Regards Jess Epilepsy Action Helpline Team

I’m in a tough spot. I’m in the military and have recently been diagnosed with narcolepsy and may have seizures associated with it. The thing is, I’ve had 6 incidents in the past 8 months, and three within the last 2 weeks. I live alone, and cannot tell if I had a seizure, but when I come too, I’m extremely fatigued/tired, sore, and many times incoherent. The last two incidents I had, there were people present, saying I was seizing. My neurologist has me scheduled for a 3 day EEG, but said that it still does not guarantee that a seizure(s) will be detected. Furthermore, I cannot drive, and have to be incident free for no less than 6 months before I can even me looked at retaining my driving privileges back. Every incident that happens, starts my 6 month clock back at 0. To make things worse, I’m coming up on the last leg of my Medical Board, and the VA has only rated me at 10% for the narcolepsy, stating that the medication I was on puts me in a stable position and controls my epilepsy, when in fact that is false. If there is anyone that can help me in any, I’m all ears.

Please do not use any sort of anti epileptic drug without a doctor's consultation. The doctor will firstly diagnose the type of seizure your sister is having. And then prescribe the appropriate drug.

[@opalescentmica]

I thought we were supposed to make sure not to leave the person on their back because usually drooling occurs, sometimes foamy, and so does blood and so there is a real choking hazard. I experience this, and my loved ones turn me on my side to make sure those liquids drain, and at the same time they carefully put a rubber spoon handle (which they also say were not supposed to do) between my teeth to keep me from chewing my tounge all up, simultaneously fishhooking their finger on the side of my mouth to assist with the dangerous droolings. The spoon also prevents me from chewing the person's fingers all up. Unfortunately being in this side position has caused shoulder and elbow injuries, but I'd rather heal from that than choking, or a chewed tounge that prevents me from speaking and prevents me from eating solids for weeks. Anywho.

I started having Grand Mal seizures in my early 20's and the doctors could not determine what was causing them. I even ended up having brain surgery to remove a large cyst they had found on my temporal lobe, however, the seizures returned shortly after the surgery. Now I was in complete desperation mode, losing hope and tired of feeling like a zombie with all the sedative drugs I was being prescribed. I then realized that God was the only one who could help me and after praying for about 8 months or so, his answer came to me at a 711 convenience store early in morning. I had purchased a coffee and added a non-dairy creamer to it and after only a couple of sips it started to give me my usual pre-seizure warning signal, which was a weird deja vu feeling. I then realized that it had to be something in that creamer since coffee itself had never given me any problems. It was the preservatives in the creamer(since it was non-dairy it required something to preserve it). So, long story short, I no longer eat anything with food preservatives, take no medication of any kind and 30 years later I am still seizure free! I thank God every day for giving me this insight because when I told my medical doctors about my discovery all of them ridiculed me and said that the acids in my stomach would destroy the preservatives. This was apparently not the case and later through my research on food preservatives I also found out that most of them are even carcinogenic. I hope this can possibly help at least one person out there as I know the horrible situation it is to have seizures.
