A relative of mine came to my house a few days ago. While watching TV, his child suddenly turned blue and shivered. He rolled his eyes and foamed at the mouth. He rushed to the hospital. The doctor said he suspected it was Capricorn. Now we will understand the symptoms of Capricorn.

What are the symptoms of epilepsy

First: major attack, also known as systemic attack, half of which have aura, such as dizziness, mental disorder, epigastric discomfort, audiovisual and olfactory disorders. During the attack (spasmodic period), some patients first make a sharp cry, and then fall down due to the loss of consciousness. There are muscle rigidity and respiratory pause in the whole body. The head and eye can be tilted to one side. After a few seconds, there are clonic convulsions, which gradually aggravate and last for several seconds. During the clonic period, the breathing recovers and the mouth spits white foam (such as blood foam when the tongue is bitten). Some patients had incontinence of urine and feces, relaxation of the whole body after convulsions, or entered into drowsiness (drowsiness), after which consciousness gradually recovered. 　

Second: small attack, can be short (2 ~ 15 seconds) disturbance of consciousness or loss, without systemic spasm. There may be multiple attacks every day, sometimes rhythmic blinking, head down, direct vision, upper limb twitch. Localized seizures are commonly seen in patients with organic damage to the cerebral cortex. They are characterized by paroxysmal twitch or paresthesia of one side of the mouth, fingers or toes, which can spread to one side of the body. When the attack involves both sides of the body, it can be manifested as a major attack.

Third: psychomotor seizures can be manifested as sudden seizures, fuzzy consciousness, irregular and uncoordinated movements (such as sucking, chewing, searching, shouting, running, struggling, etc.). The patient's behavior is aimless, aimless, blind and impulsive. The attack lasts for several hours, sometimes as long as several days. The patient has no memory of the attack.
