What symptom can epilepsy have

summary

I went to the amusement park with my friends. As a result, when I was in line, a man in front of me suddenly fell to the ground and convulsed. Fortunately, he was sent to the hospital with the help of the kind-hearted people around him to avoid the serious situation. Today, let me talk about the symptoms of epilepsy.

What symptom can epilepsy have

First: generalized tonic clonic seizures (major seizures): characterized by sudden loss of consciousness and generalized tonic and convulsions, the duration of a seizure is generally less than 5 minutes, often accompanied by tongue bite, urinary incontinence, and easy to cause asphyxia and other injuries. Tonic clonic seizures can be seen in any type of epilepsy and epilepsy syndrome. Typical absence of mind is characterized by sudden onset of illness, suspension of movement, two eyes gaze, call it should not, but blink.

Second: tonic attack: it is characterized by strong and continuous contraction of the whole body or bilateral muscles, and muscle stiffness, which often lasts for several seconds to dozens of seconds, but generally does not exceed 1 minute. Tonic seizures are more common in epileptic patients with diffuse organic brain damage. Myoclonic seizure: it is a sudden rapid and short contraction of the muscle, which is similar to the electric shock like shaking of the body or limbs, sometimes several times in a row, and often occurs after awakening.

Third: spasm: refers to infantile spasm, manifested as sudden, transient trunk muscle and bilateral limb tonic flexion or extensional contraction, mostly manifested as paroxysmal nodding, occasional paroxysmal backward. The whole process of muscle contraction is about 1-3 seconds, often in clusters. It is commonly seen in West syndrome and other infantile syndromes. It can be a whole body action or a local action.
