Epilepsy is a brain condition that causes recurring seizures over time, which can be linked to short-term illnesses or injuries. Most children with epilepsy attend school and can participate in all activities. However, some may need to take medicine at school, require help with certain subjects, or be given extra time on certain tasks. A seizure action plan should be made to keep the child safe and know when they may need to go to the hospital.
Epilepsy can cause sudden surges of electrical activity in the brain, and about two-thirds of all children with epilepsy outgrow their seizures by the time they are two years old. It can be difficult to recognize a seizure in infants compared to older children. As a child’s caregiver, note any unusual behaviors and how long they last and talk to your doctor.
People with epilepsy can be successfully employed in various high-risk jobs, such as police officer, firefighter, welder, butcher, and babysitting for children with seizures. However, having epilepsy does not necessarily stop someone from doing the job they want, but there are some issues that can affect work. Parents may have to work hard to get the services and accommodations their children need, and children with epilepsy have the right to equal access to educational opportunities.
When working with a child with epilepsy, it is important to get to know the individual child and their condition. All children with epilepsy have the right to equal access to education and should receive appropriate support and accommodations.

Can I teach if I have seizures?
Epilepsy affects various types of work, such as heights, unguarded fires, and teaching. If you have uncontrolled seizures, it’s not ideal to work in these areas. However, you can train as a teacher if you’ve been seizure-free for a year, but the type and frequency of your seizures will affect your career. Nursing may be open to some areas, but not others like midwifery. If your seizures are well-controlled or infrequent, there may be a wider range of jobs available.
Even if you have regular seizures during working hours, you can still apply for jobs. Driving jobs may not be open to you, but you can take one if you meet the legal requirements for a license for an ordinary vehicle.
Can people with epilepsy go to school?
Epilepsy can impact a child’s academic performance, but some may require extra time or support in class. Frequent absence seizures can lead to missed key points, and recovery time and sleep may be necessary. Anti-seizure medication can cause side effects like tiredness and memory problems. If a child needs support at school, teachers may approach them.
Special educational needs (SEN) are learning difficulties or disabilities that make it harder for them to learn than other children of the same age. Every school has a special educational needs coordinator (SENCO) who can work with parents and teachers to address these needs. Schools typically provide SEN support.
In summary, epilepsy can impact a child’s academic performance, but it can also lead to additional support and time in class.
Which jobs are not suitable for epilepsy patients?
People with epilepsy may face challenges in dangerous machinery-operated jobs, such as construction and industrial work. Many places have laws prohibiting those with uncontrolled seizures from working in positions involving high responsibility to others, such as police officers, teachers, and healthcare workers. These individuals face various hazards in the workplace, including loss of consciousness or muscle control, diminished concentration or physical strength due to side effects, and potential side effects on medication.
Can I lose my job if I have a seizure?
Epilepsy can pose risks to a person’s health or safety in certain jobs. Employers must assess individual risks and make reasonable adjustments, such as making the workspace safer, avoiding lone working, and swapping tasks with another employee. People don’t need to disclose their seizure to an employer unless they want to or need reasonable accommodations. The Epilepsy Foundation recommends this information.
What don’t you do with a patient having seizures?
Avoid holding a person down, putting anything in their mouth during a seizure, giving CPR or mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing, and offering food, water, or medications until they are fully awake and alert. Seizure often doesn’t require emergency medical attention, but dial 9-1-1 if necessary. People usually start breathing on their own after the seizure ends. It’s important to wait until the person is fully awake and alert before seeking emergency care.
Can people with seizures work?
Employers cannot legally refuse a job to someone with epilepsy, but they must consider the epilepsy and the job’s nature to ensure safety and that of other employees. Risks to safety depend on the epilepsy and the job, such as working at heights, around unguarded machinery, or near open water. Employers typically conduct risk assessments to assess how epilepsy could affect safety at work.
Can seizures prevent you from working?
Epilepsy poses risks to safety at work, depending on the job and the type of seizure. Some jobs, such as heights, unguarded machinery, or near open water, may be risky for those with seizures. Employers typically conduct risk assessments to assess the impact of epilepsy on safety. For a Group 1 license, seizure-free for one year is required, with or without anti-seizure medication. Regulations differ if seizures occur during sleep or if they do not affect one’s ability to act.
What activities are good for people with seizures?
Exercise is beneficial for a healthy neurological system, as it can help reduce seizures and improve motor functions. Regular sports activities can also accelerate the release of active substances in prescribed medications. However, certain physical activities, such as boxing, diving, bungee jumping, parachute jumping, skiing, snowboarding, wind sports, or surfing, can trigger seizures in people with epilepsy due to high adrenaline rates.
It is essential to adhere to clinical recommendations and modifications in line with recovery progress to ensure a productive rehabilitation workout. Overall, physical activities can help maintain a healthy neurological system and reduce the risk of seizures in individuals with epilepsy.
What are good jobs for people with seizures?
Individuals diagnosed with epilepsy may find a plethora of promising career prospects in a multitude of settings, including office-based roles, library positions, content writing, editing, proofreading, translation jobs, and hospitality roles. These positions present a multitude of avenues for individuals with epilepsy to flourish and make meaningful contributions to their communities.
What are the do’s and don’ts of seizures?
Epilepsy is a common brain condition characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures. To provide first aid, stay calm, protect the person from injury, and place a soft object under their head. Loosen any tight clothing and roll them on their side after the seizure. Safety precautions should be sensible and relevant to the person, balancing risk and restrictions. Good seizure management can help reduce epilepsy risks.
Can a person with seizures live a normal life?
Epilepsy can lead to seizure-free lives, but some individuals can manage their seizures to live long and full lives. Celebrities who have lived with epilepsy can provide an example of how proper seizure management can help. However, certain activities, such as driving or brain tumors, can affect outcomes. A child’s life with epilepsy can be a window of hope, as another successfully treated ANA epilepsy patient was able to resolve her problem at a young age.

I was so embarrassed when I told my boyfriend about me being a epileptic person. But when I showed him this article and I admit I cried, he cuddled me and said don’t worry! At first I thought he would dump me, but he so loving and he is always there for me. Sometimes I find it embarrassing to tell friends about me being a epileptic, so when my boyfriend says anything about me being a epileptic, sometimes I even shout at him just just incase my friends walk away from me as if I would a some kind of disease that they would catch from me. But they don’t worry and my friends still help me and we all hang around with each other. So it’s not embarrassing to tell friends about being a epileptic person. Just be yourself and live life to the full. Enjoy it.💋💚👄
Schools should provide way more first aid classes. I (18 year old) was on the bus today and a man was having an epileptic seizure. I told the bus driver got him to pull over and called 999 while making sure the passenger was comfortable and wouldn’t hurt himself. I had no clue what to do and everyone else on the bus simply stayed seated and ignored what was happening. I’m so glad I watched this and have learnt so much today that I am now far more confident if I was ever to face this situation again. 🙂 thank you for this article 🙌🏼
All those people who never in such situation and perusal, know that this will be worth it, but your first time will be panic, stay calm and call Emergency. I was in such situation a few months back when one of the household members got into seizure, I panicked and didn’t know about it, thought it was a stroke. But luckily I put him down lying comfortably and call the emergency. Watch a lot of articles afterwards. Yesterday, that person went into seizure again, I quickly use all the thing I learnt from the article into practice. Thanks for these articles!
I worked at a museum as a supervisor and seizures were the majority of our Code Blue calls. I dealt with a babies first seizure, kids, and adults with seizures. The families would literally lose their minds with some screaming and yelling and panicking and I’d go in there calm and collected and render first aid. By the last one I was reciting the known given medical history, and time of seizure, and any injuries and having cleaning staff at the ready for bodily fluids. It really taught me to stay calm and focused in an emergency.
I’m glad seizures are being taught and recognized more, I grew up having undiagnosed seizures. My parents would yell at me I started having petite mal seizures in my early elementary years and my grades tanked especially in math. Subjects that required alot of steps really were a struggle history and science I was great at. I remember my parents always being mad and even my best wasn’t good enough. I turned 23 and started having grand mals and I looked into my moms eyes and said I told you! My brother told me it’s not the time and I said easy for you to say I’m the one laying in the bed being yelled at all these years for their ignorance!
It happened in school today. My history teacher was teaching when she suddenly fell down and started seizing. A classmate caught her just in time and we rushed off to call the teachers and medical staff. It was so scary as most of us had never seen anyone seizing before today and we were just stuck to our places
This year, I was at a wedding where a guest I didn’t know had an alcohol-poisioning-induced seizure. Regretfully, I moved their head sideways so they wouldn’t choke on their tongue or own vomit, because that is what I had been taught. Thank goodness my actions had no adverse effects. I am thankful that I know the right actions to take now
this girl in assembly had a seizure at school yesterday. she was giving a performance and when she was done, as she was walking off the stage i noticed she started to look sick or dazed and when she was walking past where i was seated she had the seizure. i wanted to help but i didnt know what to do. now i know what do to. Thanks
My little cousin 7yo at the time and her mom came to visit. Her mom went to bed and suddenly fell off the bed and started having a seizure. We had no idea she was epileptic. But my little cousin calmly pushed her on her side. My mother came in at that moment when my little cousin reassured us that she will be fine. I was so blown away by this. I was scared out of my mind 🥺, but my baby cousin was so calm and responsive.
i had my first ever seizure in december last year after having a blood test when i was on way home with my mum in her car she called the ambulance for me and i spent of the day and night in my local hospital but since being back home i have struggled with coping i keep replaying it over and over in my mind i think i should have died right then when it happened but on other hand am grateful to have second chance at life have been seeing my phycologist person about this and my anxiety and i am so worried about having another episode in front of my friends work colleagues at my local ten pin bowling alley that i have started shutting all my friends and everyone out as i feel like i am nothing but a burden for them to have to worry about and i would never wish that consience on any of my friends or work colleagues who i work with
Its important to remember to stay calm support their head with something and clear the area first if u panic u can do more harm than good and if anyone is around tell them to back away or leave so they have more room my girlfriend has epilepsy and i know a little about this kind of stuff but remember there are different types of seaziures the worst is grand mal
Thank you very much for this article I had my first siezure when I was 45 years old i was on a bus I was diagnosed with epilepsy its still scary everyday because I never know when ill get one I get them still even though I take medicine anyone dealing with this hang in there we have to be strong im sending Good wishes and blessings from barbados 🇧🇧 ❤

The general rule is to not move people, but if someone falls on a rough surface like tarmac it’s a good idea to move any naked skin areas from the surface, like the feet and hands. Falling on a tiled or hardwood floor will hurt a few hours after, and cause some bruising, but the constant rubbing against an uneven surface absolutely shreds the skin, and stings like hell. Last time this happened to me I couldn’t wear shoes for two days straight.
I was diagnosed with epilepsy in 2013. I remember my seizure triggered when I was in school, the reason why it triggered that time is because I ate too much heavy foods (hamburger and carbonara) and boy did I tried to remember anything after that, I was lucky my classmates hurriedly called my mom, a few teachers, and informed our school nurse. This was helpful, now I know how they do it when this happens to me. Thank you.
i watched this out of guilt. my best friend once had a seizure and i didnt even know what he was doing at the time but it was very clear he wasnt normal and needed help. i knew absolutely nothing about seizures and epilepsy and stuff and watch helplessly as even adults seemed clueless. idk if that was his first one but it was a strong one. He made very loud erratic noises, we initially ( and studpidly ) thought were just him trying to be disturbing. He also had back arched forward and saliva from mouth. i really wanted to know what happened to him and now i know it. i am so sorry dude. i did not know what to do else i would have been the first one to help. he was saved after around 30 minutes of disorientation.
There are there’s more than one kind of seizures out there. I have one of them but I’m not sure which one I have, but I know that is not a shaking one. Some people have shaking seizures, but I don’t really know the actual name. Those ones are quite scary ones. Anyone that have seizures don’t worry you guys are not alone I’m have them to, but my parents don’t know how to take care of when I have them. I might have to show them this article. Thank you for making this article for me. Now my parents probably have this article so they can take care of me when I’m have one.
CBD oil has been a true game-changer in my journey of managing seizure attacks. Not only has it effectively reduced the frequency and severity of my seizures, but it has also brought a host of other benefits, including neuroprotection, improved quality of life, and minimal side effects. As more research continues to support the efficacy of CBD oil in treating seizures, I am grateful to have found a natural and accessible solution that has brought stability and hope to my life.
Didn’t think I’d meet someone with seizures until I met my partner. I’ve gotten to experience perusal his mother go through seizures, even recently picking her up from work while she was about to go through one and those things are a very sad and scary thing to watch someone go through. They are no joke and I know most people wouldn’t joke about that in particular but once you meet someone that has them, it changes your perspective in life so much and makes you wonder that one could be worried about being alone for their own reasons but being alone while having seizures could be a lot more worrisome. One of the many things I’m proud of my partner is that he’s there for his mom as much as possible despite of his uncle being there as well. He’s been independent and having his own places for a while now as he’s been a successful business owner and even wanted to move in to our own place with just him and I since we first dated but I was the one that chose to stay apart so I could continue helping my mother along the way of helping my own self while paying cheaper rent to save for a better home. Now it’s the other way around, he chooses to stay with his mother not just because his mom’s house will be his future home instead of paying rent and wasting money on something that we wouldn’t be able to own in the future but because he chooses to stay by his mother’s side in the good and bad. He has helped her so much financially as well as emotionally and am so damn proud he’s there for her.
My child has been experiencing seizures during sleep since he was 3.5 years old. He is now 5.5 years old and has had 12 episodes so far. Despite being treated with Keppra medication for the last 2 years, he is still having seizures. Recently, the doctor advised us to gradually stop the Keppra and start giving Tegretol medication 5ML, starting with 2.5 and increasing it to 5ML. Currently, we are giving both medications, and just today we reduced the Keppra from 3ML to 2.5. We are seeking advice on what to do next. Kindly advise.
I’d recommend placing their heads on your lap when you sit above the head. That way when someone is violently bopping around they can’t injure their heads, Plus while you’re out of the way of erratic arm movement you can reaffirm your calm presents by holding both sides of the face while timing. That Margaret is like Letting her know you are there for her! She can feel that! I’ve dealt with many stress induced seizures related incidents and Physical contact when eye contact isn’t possible is The Only way to instantaneously impact that situation and turn it around. Whether Epilepsie Panic attacks Aggression and so on it’s intended touch!!! There are so many ways you can instigate a touch and when you intentionalize that touch sincerely than you can manifest instant calmness, and an expression of love in which any words would fall short. Some people think this is hocus pocus but Thoughts are Frequenties and We’re all big antenna’s if you attune yourself like a radio you will pick up on you interests and the way you touch someone could end a seizure.
How do you bring it up as a matter of conversation to your friends or someone you just met because I have tried to tell other people and boyfriends have broken up with me friends have disappeared and never spoke to me again people seem to be afraid of me. How do you tell other people and not get this reaction?
My boyfriend said epilepsy for 13 years .. he did it alone most of the time 😔they manage to stop before we got together, we have been together for 10 years this passed july 4th he had one and I freaked out didnt know anything other then to get them on there side, I had some knowledge because my grandmother suffered from this but she passed before I was born and my mom told me ! I was never aware that your supposed to times them… his 2nd one was September 3rd .. I didnt panic this time times and got him on his side and I made him go to hospital.. so at the start of them he usually stares off, that’s usually when I catch it.. by then it’s too late and he’s in them.. the last two he was in his chair choking on his spit, I knew I had to get him to the floor to get on my side.. my teenagers help me move him.. my anxiety goes through the roof because I want him to be safe.. I’m so scared one of these days I’m not going to be home and he’s going to get hurt, that fear kills me….. my biggest question is,when he goes into them how do I keep him from choking ? if I’m not supposed to move him .. the last time he was upset with me because I made him go to the hospital … he sat there for 6 hours and no one check on him .. I understand his frustration but me being new to this, I want make sure he’s 100% safe! I’ll never know the pain that he goes through…. but its hurt me too cause I love him so much!! I feel like I do everything wrong in the moment
I had a one time grand mal seizure on March 13, 1997. I was a child and on liquid Prozac for depression. My tongue started tingling like it was going to sleep. I thought it was strange and 5 minutes later I was having my seizure. I woke up with paramedics around me and I remember being confused about what was going on. Soon after it all came back to me and I remembered it all. I was terrified. I remembered my face twisting and losing my vision. I could hear myself gurgling and making a lot of high pitch sounds. I was praying to God in my mind because I really though I was going to die. Truly the most horrifying experience of my life. I was 12 at the time.
my dad (who i’m now estranged from) was epileptic and a chronic alcoholic and he used to have long seizures every couple of weeks, he once had a huge one outside our local primark. my siblings were crying and the elderly nurse who came running was surprised to see that I had put me and my sister’s coats under and around his head and called the ambulance completely stone-faced. I was oblivious as to why people were so shocked but later learned it isn’t exactly common for most people’s parents to collapse to the floor and convulse for minutes on end.
I’m an Epileptic for 50 years I learned to turn the person on there side grab them in a choking position from the back of the neck and put little pressure on back of the neck it shouldn’t take to long after the person would start to relax you would notice as pressure is placed on back of the head every time I have done it I brought the person back under 2 min please who ever is reading this is true what I’m saying I been doing it for the last 15 years to people I see having one . The reason I started doing it is when an Epileptic is going into one first thing they fill is head aches as you put pressure on back of the head it helps relax the person believe me I been doing it for 15 to 20 years now it will bring them back under 2:00min maybe 1:00min mi name is victor yebra
Something I’ve heard people with epilepsy say: sometimes when people wake up from a seizure they are very scared, and that might make them seem afraid of the person trying to help them. Just know it’s ok and you didn’t do anything wrong by helping (as long as you were doing it right). They will calm down eventually. Just a disclaimer: I don’t have epilepsy and I haven’t done much research on it. This is just something I’ve seen people say in the comments of other articles like this but no one seemed to be talking about it here. Anyone who has epilepsy or other seizures, please correct me or add to this if you think there’s something else people should know!
i lost my cousin to a seizure in march, we were like best friends and he was only 18, he had lots of seizures beforehand but this one took his life the same day i was supposed to have a sleepover for the weekend :/ he is now with the person hes been crying for since he was 18 months old, his mum, you’ll never be forgotten brother <3
My friend had a seizure in the school bathroom I ran the fastest I ever can to the nurse someone else was in there too who stayed to watch then I ran to the detective i was really calm and helpful until after all that I got worried about what would happen to him the school brought me in a conference room to question us then they decided to search my bag and assume it was from drugs 🤦♂️
Looking for some advice: I am concerned that during the seizure, if they are laying on their back, they might have fluid block their airways. I didn’t know whether to turn my friend(who is fine now) on his side or leave him on his back as he was seizing the other day, but I decided to leave him on his back. He had some saliva bubbling from the sides of his mouth, but I could clearly tell he was breathing, so I thought I could react, push him on his side, and get him to cough it out if I heard any gurgling(will someone seizing even have a cough reflex?). Would it not be safer to turn them on their side, mid seizure, to prevent the chance of this? What is the advantage to leaving them on their back, as instructed by the article?
Can someone vomit while having convulsions? If we have to wait until after the convulsions end to put the patient in recovery position, aren’t we running the risk of him/her choking on their own vomit? Or is vomiting only a post-convulsion event? Shouldn’t we at least tilt their head first to make sure they don’t choke? Please let me know I think this is really important!
I have absence seizures. I was diagnosed at the age of 5 but have been seizure free since the age of thirteen and so was taken of meds which caused massive weight gain a hand tremor and memory loss. The point is meds are good up until a point an then it becomes a pill no pun intended. my triggers are flashing lights, specifically the transition from the out doors to inside a classroom getting too hot and recently sleep deprivation. my parents were told to treat me as a normal child and to see how fare I would develop and look at me now I have graduated high school with honors though I did hope for a regents diploma but after taking the algebra common core regent seven times starting out with a 40 and ending up with a 57 oh well. I start collage in July not august as you can infer I was not expected to do much of what I just mentioned The effects of my seizures is that i have Aspie like tendencies due to my epilepsy which i know is difficult to understand to put it in simple terms as a result of my seizures my brain compensated and rewired itself and so i have all of the symptoms of Aspergers but lack any sort of understanding math as a result i have no understanding of money and never really learned my basic math facts.(i am just learning them now in college which for most Aspergers people they are gifted with math abilities )i also have orthotic because due to my seizures that i had straight feet at birth After my father died, it seems I have had a relapse if that is possible.
My friend fainted the other day but I was terrified that she was having a seizure cause she twitched a little. Luckily I knew how to help her cause it was just fainting but it reminded me of my baby sis having a seizure and i was terrified i was only 12 at the time and didnt know what to do. its still scary but im glad i took a minute to learn what to do in case that happens
I’ve found it’s safer to put someone into the recovery position as they are having a generalised seizure, just to prevent them from aspirating vomit, saliva, or blood during the seizure. I have had to do this once before when, walking back home with my husband and his friend, the friend had a generalised seizure. I went straight into nurse mode and told my husband to start a timer on his phone as I put the friend into the position. We stayed by his side, and made sure he got home safe. I called his ICE (In Case of Emergency) contact, who was his mum, to let her know what had happened. Follow the ABCDE approach of emergencies. My husband has remembered all that I taught him on that day, and I am so happy for that when I started having generalised seizures. I’d also told him to call 999 if a seizure lasts over 5 minutes, or if there is more than 3 in a row.
It’s unfortunate how this tutorial never constructs any elaborate reasonings. Instead of exploring how to prevent or stop a seizure, this tutorial only demonstrates instructions anyone can render as controversial–how come moving the victim during the episode isn’t allowed, and why wait 10 minutes? Ultimately, some guidelines seem to be more harmful than helpful.
I have a very different kind of seize. My heart is much smaller than normal and the sack around it is smaller than normal and not in the right place.I’m wondering if this is the problem for them. I have had an EEG but the results where inconclusive and still don’t know why I have them. Do think you might have a idea?
ok. this person is right I should know since my uncle had suffered from them. However if someone request for you to do something different and or an other medical staff said that when they arrive they are going to do the same thing she just did in the article when they arrive should you call and collect a bill or do what they just did? ummm wwjd or what would you have done one self?
Thanks for this article im dating a girl who has non epileptic ones so ots not often but she does have them and she was embarrassed to tell me so this is nice to know so i can help her of she ever has one around me. She claims she will be ok but i still want to know how to help her and be sure shes ok.
If someone is vomiting during the seizure, do you place them on the side in the recovery position even if the seizure has not yet stopped? Would you turn them back onto their back to finish seizing or leave them on their side? As people can often have in-effective breathing during a seizure, how would you know when it is in effective enough to start CPR? Would you attempt CPR on someone who is not breathing effectively and still seizing after 5 minutes?
i had a Seizure in my boys bathroom i was laying on the floor for like 30 to 45 minutes may less then the school nurse and hospital came and saved me and i could not rember i had Seizures where i cant rember anything for 5 – 15 seconds and i got autismn so i came to this article also may 20 is my birthday it was 2 days ago
My grandma keeps having them for last few years, my grandfather takes care of her alone. He called me crying today, she had one while i had his car, i was getting it cleaned and he couldnt go to the hospital. Eventually he got her to come back, drink water so it was minor. But i dont wanna ever hear him cry like that again, i wanna help him. He dont know what to do himself he use to running to the hospital. Imma learn and teach him
The advice given here is from the epileptic societies website, HOWEVER the question we need to ask when approaching a seizure is – IS THE CASUALTY HURTING THEMSELVES? As in the article clip above you can see that the head WAS NOT compromised so there was no need for the pillows being placed around the head. The pilows served NO PURPOSE. If the head was banging off the floor then YES place pillows under the head or support their head with your hands. ALWAYS phone 999 unless the carer or family members says otherwise because this can lead to cardiac arrest and it is BAD practice to even consider leaving someone on the floor fitting for 5 minutes or unconcious for 10 minutes.
Best thing to do to control your seizures is to find out the cause stay away from seizure lights and also get good sleep and stay on your meds I haven’t had a seizure in 1 year because of finding the coase another good thing to do is to find out a warning when your about to have a seizure like if you fell cold in a hot room or pain before happens so you know when to sit down so you don’t fall and hit your head
Been about 8 years ago I last had a Seizure,Had one last night at work,First thing at 1am this morning,Just as I was starting my shift,I collapsed on the floor,Also got tunalitaus lately as well,Not been eating hardly nothing at all,Did not make it any better,I was out on the floor for about 10 mins before I woke up,See my work mates standing there wondering wft is going on,I dont hardly ever get this ill,Also very rarely get tunalitaus as well,Now got antibiotics,Had fun in the Hosptal as well,had some stitches on my head after I collapsed on to the floor,Not something normally do,Normally quite well most of the time
Im 16 but when i was 14 i drank 1 energy drink and not even 1 minute later i turned to my mom and said im ok im ok and thats it i thought i died for a second just wishing that wasn’t the end only thing that saved me was my mom that i slightly saw jump up and start bringing me back now i truly understand people with this condition very sorry
It happened today, this morning before school at one of the side street, a classmate had a seizure and there was only me and my friends, so we had to call an ambulance and a kind man come and helped put something under his head, and some other girls ran to school to get a teacher. It was honestly a traumatizing and scary experience.
Someone at work today had a seizure and I tell yah it was scary but we did the right thing overall they had extreme amount of saliva in the mouth so we put them on their side and when they slamming there head on the concrete we out cushioning under there head luckily ambulance arrived by the time we done that because we were mostly clueless what to do will be posting a sign of what to do for future reference to anyone who doesn’t know.
Ik this is 7 years ago but I noticed most UK websites show turning on side after jerking has stopped. I don’t think that is good because it’s some of the first pages that show up on google search in America. We are taught airway, breathing, circulation as priority measures. Safety can play a role over airway at times. However in this situation, we are taught that mouths can snap closed & tongues can fall back due to loss of control. (swallowing tongue is impossible, but blockage of airway resulting decreased oxygenation=tissue death etc?) If there is something unknown in the mouth they would choke during the seizure. If they threw up before and it is lodged in their airway, that would result in decreased oxygenation. That’s why it’s best practice to lower them safely to ground, immediately turn them to their side, protect their head & move objects away, loosen clothing etc. this article should be removed because it could cause death of a loved one due to family’s of patients relying on this strategy to help their epileptic family member.

So thats what happened to my mom like 4 years ago.. It happened around 7am, i was sleeping in my room then suddenly woke up on the sound of my dad calling her name and asking her to breathe, i literally had weak knees and my legs we shaking so hard before actually going to their room, when i went and saw her like this i got so shocked i thought she was dying i held her feet and dad was holding her hands and then she calmed down, and after few minutes a white substance came out of her mouth its like saliva .. Idk i was really scared, she then calmed down and opened her eyes, she didnt recognize neither me nor my dad she started talking nonesense like hallucinating then she slept, i was literally crying at that moment i didng know what to do i asked my dad to call the emergency but he said she was going to be fine.. After like 15 minutes she woke up and asked me why i was sleeping with them, she was so shocked and i was relieved. Now with this article i can know what to do next time thank you 😊
I want to know how to stop one bc my sister knows someone that has them. We were once in the gym waiting for the bell to ring and this girl is sitting behind me and we are on bleachers and I hear a thud behind me, I look back and this girl is having a seizure, I jump up ready to go up there and some group of girls run to get a teacher and nurse. Now I am prepared for this situation.
I’m curious if we look into there blood types and is something to much in there or missing… Electrical short, glitch Is something in common with all these people other than the seizure itself, Food Drink Pets Had a friend she nee few seconds before coming is key to awareness and preparing… Just a thought to Mind control?
