What are the symptoms of epilepsy

summary

Some time ago, I took my children to the amusement park. On the way, I found that a child fell to the ground and couldn't afford to convulse. The parents beside me were crying all the time. It was a doctor on leave who controlled the situation in time and said that it was caused by epilepsy. Today, let me talk about the symptoms of epilepsy.

What are the symptoms of epilepsy

First, generalized tonic clonic seizure, sudden loss of consciousness, followed by tonic clonic spasm. It is often accompanied by screaming, cyanosis, urinary incontinence, tongue bite, white foam or blood foam at the mouth, and mydriasis. After several seconds or several minutes, the spasm stops naturally and goes into a state of lethargy. Wake up after a short period of dizziness, fatigue, can not recall the attack process. If the attack continues, has been in a coma state, said the big attack continued state, often dangerous and life.

Second: absence seizures (seizures): sudden interruption of mental activity, loss of consciousness, can be accompanied by myoclonus or automatism. A few seconds to more than ten seconds. EEG showed spike slow wave or sharp slow wave syndrome 3 times per second. Simple partial seizure: a partial or unilateral limb tonic, clonic seizure, or paresthesia seizure, lasting for a short time, clear consciousness. If the range of attack extends along the motor area to other limbs or the whole body, it may be accompanied by loss of consciousness.

Third: complex partial seizures (psychomotor seizures): psychosensory, psychomotor and mixed seizures. Most of them have different degrees of consciousness disorder and obvious thinking, perception, emotion and psychomotor disorder. There may be automatic symptoms such as wandering at night and so on. Sometimes, under the control of hallucination and delusion, violence such as hurting others and self injuring can occur. Autonomic nervous attack (diencephalic): can have headache type, abdominal pain type, or cardiovascular attack.
