Seizures (Generalised)

[@enzone45]

tonic-clonic or convulsive seizures (formerly known as grand mal). had it happen to me first time yesterday while doing some grocery shopping in AZ. I remember getting blurred vision, then immediately dizziness. I was midway crashing to the floor when I lost of consciousness. Although no one could tell me details as paramedics arrived towards the end of my seizure. It must of been past 5 mins to make a medical emergency call. Got transported to the ER to get checked out, tests came back negative. Being referred to a neurologist now. Wish me luck 👍

Good luck I have epilepsy and my rabbit has seizures!

@@binkybunnysway943 thank you I hope both yours and your rabbits seizures stop soon! They are sending me to a 5 day epilepsy clinic at a local hospital, start of year. We'll see what happens 🤷‍♂️

How do get a seizures means were you having any family history?

@ad_adventures8580 Hello! No family history and luckily they stopped, hopefully I didn't jinx myself 😆

[@amandalesley7281]

I was told by my specialist (many years ago) that I had partial complex seizures, but from this video it is clear that I have atonic seizures. Thank you for the clarification, it is nice to know they are not partial complex seizures because I always found that to be a phrase meaning the doctor can't fit the seizure into any particular category

[@ashleygreenberg297]

I think I had atonic seizures or something when I was a teenager I would just fall down unconscious and I thought I was fainting but I always got claustrophobic and ringing in my ears first and then voices around me got muffled. One progressed into a grand mal I think. I woke up with bruises and my head had bashed a hole in the wall

[@katiehaefs1837]

No idea why this doesn't have more views. Very well done.

[@DaddyKratosOfTheShire]

Yes very well spoken

[@alexawermuth1219]

Because not a lot of people are researching about seizures or having seizure videos go to their recommended

[@tillanipatterson7898]

This is so good to know as I’ve just as of last year been diagnosed with epilepsy having heaps of nocturnal seizures and have had one grand mal seizure that went upto 10 minutes .

[@neliaoliveira4473]

You don’t know how much you help me. I became epileptic after a grade II brain tumor my doctor never explained my seizures, I always thought they weren’t gran mal after all they are. I don’t lose conscious, sometimes after the seizure I can get up others I stay there for a while. Thank you for explain how this works, I have auras as well know I understand. It as been three years without understanding any of this horrible disease.

[@User-aplnk]

This has been amazing to watch for me. I ended up having seizures after my 2nd Vaccine...to start off the were lasting up to 46 minutes to an hour with 1/2 hour breaks in between. All upper body with a lock of the head to the left every time, severe convulsions of the head, some jerking movements in the right arm, fingers, right toes and sometimes in the right leg. Always conscious with a severe stuttering of the speech. 4 years later I still have the same seizures. 1 has lasted 5 hours with just the head and speech being attacked. I've been diagnosed with whiplash from the neck trauma and diagnosed as a dillisional paranoid schizophrenic by the Health Crisis team and neurologist called it a functional seizure of that's even a thing caused by delayed PTSD this is in NZ. I have been passed on from dr to dr, ridiculed and laughed at, called a liar by hospital staff after a seizure saying I put it on. I finally pulled out my Atlas on the human body and started doing my own research then found this site and it all makes sense. I've lost everything to these seizures, my home, my job, my car, motorbike, friends, family and live in a fearful state of mind 24/7 there is no help here in NZ I just have to ride these seizures out on my own. I'm grateful for these videos where I can make sense of what's happening to me. Thankyou so much

[@sahar1usa]

Im so sorry to hear that. Those so called friends better be gone when they are not by your side when needed. I will write a list of food to avoid which has major impact on reducing seizure later on this video I hope you have a great weekend, make sure you get sleep

[@Dezbo]

I hope this reply finds you well. And more details about your vaccine? (Type, brand?) Because I’ve been experiencing seizures specifically after my second covid vaccine (Pfizer) I wonder if there could be a lawsuit

[@nuke_6296]

​@@sahar1usaI could use that list too

[@andreaephlin]

i remember nana used to say when i was in elementary school teachers would get mad at me for not paying attention in class because i was looking out the window and it was mostly new teachers or teachers who didnt know about epilepsy but i could be in a seizure for a long while before someone who knew me noticed that i was having a seizure

[@MultiKingsfan]

That accent is amazing.

[@angelrodgers6591]

I’m 24 years old and was just diagnosed with epilepsy. Had my first seizure in my ambulance at work. Lasted about 3 minutes and was a grand mal. My neurologist had me hooked up for 3 days to an EEG machine and she said I was having 1-2 second seizures all day long without showing any signs

[@nikkijooste-strombeck5045]

Hi Angel, not sure if you’ll get this. My daughter is on the autism spectrum and at 22 just recently started having seizures. At first they were about 30 seconds with immediate recovery in which she’d stay standing and immediately carry on where she left off prior to the seizure. Yesterday she had what I can tell was a grand mal and her recovery was very long. I’m trying to educate myself as much as I can as we can only see the neurologist in June. She could possibly have been having the quick seizures for ages for all I know. This has been incredibly scary for me. I hope your meds are helping control your seizures.

[@jefferycollyge3877]

I've got epilepsy and had it for over 20yrs. No one knows how I got epilepsy. I hope to God that a cure is found. So I won't have to deal with epilepsy, seizures and medication for the rest of my life.

How do you get seizures was there any family history or something else?

[@Onyxandfriends.4467]

Again, excellent video! Thank you Dr.!

[@vidurangasathsara4943]

I like this lesson

[@kathrynlowrance2066]

Before my son had his first tonic-clonic seizure, he experienced absent seizures. At the time, we didn't see this but in retrospect now we do. Examples: He'd be sitting at the kitchen table and talking, and then space out or rest his head upon the table. Then, he told me that when he was showering he'd fall asleep, then wake up. Which, freaked me out. I just thought it was due to up late studying. Sadly now I know the real cause of it. Both are generalized seizures. He experienced absent seizures before the tonic-clonic ones, which is normal. During his diagnosis EEG, he experienced an absent one and later that night a tonic-clonic.

[@iamgroot6965]

I don't have them anymore but I've had 2 seizures whilst I was asleep, I wasn't drunk, I wasn't drugged. All I remember is going to sleep at my boyfriends house and then waking up on the living room chair sore as hell, pounding headache and he told me that I had woken him up with noises and he thought I was kidding around so he turned the bedroom light on and saw me seizing. I was stiff and had a little bit of foam coming out of my mouth. At the hospital I was told that I'd had a tonic clonic seizure and was asked a bunch of questions and then kept in the hospital for observation and further tests. I had another seizure whilst in hospital which I'm kinda glad about because I knew I was safe. Thankfully I haven't had anymore since but I'm still terrified of going to sleep

[@jefferycollyge3877]

I've had epilepsy over 20yrs and still haven't been able to get them under control. I sure wish that a cure is found and soon.

[@annah.1569]

What type of seizures causes someone's eyes to roll around, turn catatonic, make gurgling noises, vomit, and lose control of their bowels? My mother sometimes has seizures. Even though her seizures aren't on a regular basis (Thank God!), they vary in type. Yesterday she had an episode but I don't know if it would qualify as a seizure because she was still conscious. My mother told us that she was light-headed and had to go to the bathroom. Before I could dump our kitchen trash she slid off our living couch onto our floor and began vomiting. Luckily, she did NOT fall and hit her head and was already wearing her diaper. While my mother was on our floor, she had a bowel movement as she continued vomiting. In addition, her legs, feet, and ankles are swollen from her blood pressure and water pills. She complained that her legs were numb and struggled to stand up and use her cane and rollator, while we tried holding her up. Do you know if there are certain blood pressure and water pills that cause seizures? My mother didn't start having seizures until 16 years ago. Normally, she would have them every March or April. However, she DID have a seizure several years ago literally the day after Christmas. Thankfully my mother did NOT have this medical emergency on my grandmother's 82nd birthday, which was on Veterans Day, because that would've ruined the holiday and her birthday.

I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was 12. The aftermath of a tonic-clonic seizure, depending on how long the seizure lasts, I can be sore up to 6 weeks, I'm very tired, and sometimes bite my tongue or get cuts inside my mouth from falling on my face. Thanks to meds I typically only have multi-complex seizures 2-3 a month (maybe more, but not recorded). I live by myself with my service dog. My multi-complex seizures last from a few seconds to 45 minutes.

I've had Two in five weeks after never having one before. Scary stuff.

[@jennavancoughnett8428]

I had a Grand Mal(tonic clonic) seizure for the first time when I was 21. Thankfully u was in the ER triage when it happened. I felt weird and had a terrible headache. My bf drove me into town to the hospital and within 10 minutes of arriving I had the seizure in triage. Couldn't speak and then blacked out. My bf told me I baaahed like a sheep and then stiffened up and started shaking. The ER marked it as a MIGRAINE and so I didn't see a neurologist till after 11 months. Then i had my firsts EEG, 11 months after the seizure. SMH

How do you get seizures was there any family history or something else?

[@laurenkay6258]

I'm always awake when I have a generalised seizure. I saw a professor at a specialist neurological hospital and he said they are generalised seizures but he has no idea why I get them

[@tammydeetz7927]

That's the same thing I went through even though mine get bad they said it wasn't actual grandmal seizures yet have a combination of the 2. I didnt even get to have one of my serious ones in the study. After all the trouble they had wrapping my head. Anywho, there is no explanation to why they happen especially if they started well after childhood. Mine could've been brought on by head trauma or dental issues. I hope you can find out how yours do come on and that you're on good medicine. Prayers and thoughts are with you!!! 💜💜

[@kazzagreen84]

That would be scary being conscious through that. I've had both focal and tonic clonic seizures since I was 17. I've never actually seen someone else have one though.

[@14erskier]

Wouldn't myoclonic be more accurately classified under focal if no LOC occurs and because of how brief they are?

[@kazzagreen84]

It's probably cause it affects the entire brain, not just focused in one area.

[@faby7331]

You are right

[@randa2023kh]

awesome explanation

[@tammydeetz7927]

This is helpful as I was given this diagnosis

[@Addy2023X]

I first started having epilepsy at age 6 with tonic-clonic fits at first I was not pulled out of the primary school was attending daily. I had scans and tests and the amount of fits I was having found to be epilepsy. Throughout both sides of families I'm only one who has it don't even know what c as used mine at all. Through most of my mid/teens they were in controlled constantly in and out of hospital same happened in my mid twenties too. Now I'm in my 30's they have been uncontrolled for two years now I'm being referred to have the VNS op it'll take up to a year along with an update MRI and EEG.

My doctor said provoked or unprovoked, both are considere epileptic. I get them either way, but usually the worst ones are provoked by new food/med/drug.

I’m not sure if I got a seizure, but I often get head rushes and my vision is blacked out when I stand and today I stood up and I could feel a head rush coming on, so I just stood there, and when my vision blacked I felt myself falling and my legs and arms were jerking around for only about 15 seconds I’m guessing? Can someone help me figure out what type of seizure I had if I even had one?

[@binkybunnysway943]

Very very intersting. There's a channel here called my journey to be seizure free she has so many and outs them in KZbin but I've had seizures that are epileptic that have landed me in the icu. Pnes means it's functional right? Which means concious?

Hey can anyone help my dad thinks he had a seizure, he’s away training to be an army recruiter. He woke up with 2 pools of blood on the ground, 2 teeth knocked out, and a big gash on his head. He has a TBI, from about 7-8 years ago.

[@mistyfox2078]

Mike I know, he went to the hospital immediately, turns out they found almost nothing else wrong to trigger the seizure. The bleeding in his brain is almost gone, he’s getting discharged from the hospital today. We think it’s from stress because he’s doing a lot. He’s trying to fish everyday to grow a following on Instagram, he’s doing recruiting school AND online college, we’re kind of worried about where we’re moving, and his old boss is trying to mess stuff up for him. Thank you!

[@jonroberts6518]

It's possible my friend, I called my first one a blackout, that's all I can recall back to the medical professionals and law enforcement cuz mine resulted in a collision with a fixed object. I've been out of the army now 10 years, and I do have one tour in Iraq 2007, I can't really recall any incidents where I possibly could sustain a head injury during my tour even my military service for that matter. Late 30s going to the early forties and have your first seizure in your entire life in the past year I have suffered six seizures, believe me I gave a strange look to the doctor would he come back and and told me epilepsy and not to drive anymore (EPILPSY) 😕 how do you wake up one day and just have epilepsy.

[@jeremystewert4303]

I suffer from Lennox-Gastoux Syndrome and although I’ve had pretty much every type of seizure a person can have, no one can figure out my body has mainly decided on Atonic and and Simple Focal seizures. If these two seizures are coming from different parts of the brain why can’t these be controlled? I’m on my second VNS, I’ve had a 2/3 Posterior Corpus Calosotomy, and 22 pills daily with very little control. I have a DBS operation scheduled for the middle of May, maybe that will help.

[@jonroberts6518]

? MORE COMMON IN CHILDREN?.🤔 I was 39 when I had my first ever SEIZURE in my life now 40 in this past year and a month I have had a total of 6. I don't know why I'm having them, even my family is concerned wasn't really the one known to get sick or be hurt, like the first day when I had the seizure, I called it really a blackout that day May 7th 2020. That resulted in crashing my vehicle into a fixed object totaling my vehicle and break two ribs which is also the first time ever broke a bone in my body, received a little bit of a Blow To The Head diagnosis with some type of intracranial head trauma with loss of consciousness duration unknown, but all the MRI and CT scans were all clean 4 months after that right into a grand mal seizure in front of my mother, she had to get my pitbull off of me do EMS can see to me, on the other side of a baby gate he would still low growl and just watch the EMS mess with me, once he knew they were no threat everything was good there. Even he had that sense that something wasn't right with me diesel the Pitbull. And every 4 months after that I would go into some form of a seizure Grand Mall generalized tonic-clonic for at least 5 minutes, or the or focal complex impaired awareness and being in those for lease 2 and 1/2 to 3 minutes. Not seconds the strange Sensations Aurora's that I do feel at times not all the time those are few seconds, mostly like nausea and vertigo like symptoms are the aura Sensations.

[@JamaicaDiamond24]

this sounds like me. from the vertigo to the full on seizures. i had my 1st {known} seizure March 2020.

Please i need some advice. In 2017, i got my first seizure. In 2019,i got second one And just recently last week,i got s tbird one. I dont take any epilepsy medecines and i get it only when i have extremely long and heavy periods and its towards the end of the period. P.s last time,i have fever during my period and this time i had food poisoning. And sugar was high as well. Is it epilepsy?what should i do?should i go to a neurologist? I also have pcos

[@yoBANNANA]

Talk to your general doctor, who will most likely refer you to neurologist where you will have a bunch of tests like an EEG. You could have epilepsy or something else neurological. Or no epileptic activity which means it may be due to hormones and stress.

[@yoBANNANA]

Also, your sugar levels definitely can give you a seizure.

[@jasminnorthway3448]

Now I’m no doctor but it could be because of the fact that you’re having extremely long and heavy periods the hormones in your body that’s what my epilepsy doctor told me but I don’t know

Thank-you for all this informations!!!👍

[@michellepillay6076]

I have absent seizures and I’m fully conscious

[@ashleygreenberg297]

Maybe you have a different kind like focal seizures because those are more aware during them. Absence seizures are more like you forget what you’re talking about in the middle of talking or you lose time or you are like what just happened? I was standing in line and suddenly another person was there and I couldn’t remember where he came from I had to ask him if he was in line before me or if I was there first. If you are aware that you’re just zoning off maybe it’s something else. Like a focal aware seizure.
