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 👍

Again, excellent video! Thank you Dr.!

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 .

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

Literally the best video🙏🙏🙏

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.

This is helpful as I was given this diagnosis

Excellent explanation. Thanks.

Excellent informational video.

I like this lesson

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

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

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

awesome explanation

This is lovely

Thanks! informal video.

U r awesome teacher I learned a lot from u hat up

Very clear thank you

Thank you so much 🙏 🙏🙏.

thank you so much!

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.

Nice Sir

What a stud.

Just hot my epilepsy diagnosis on the 8th. I've been pretty down about it, but watching this video made me feel a little better. 😍🤤 dayum

Thank-you for all this informations!!!👍

Explained well

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

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.

Thank u

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

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.

Thanks

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.

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

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?

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.

Thank you Dr.!

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.

Can you explain how a myoclonic seizure falls under a generalized seizure category as only one muscle group is involved...

Great T

Firstly you are amazing secondly please I need help from you my research about mri epilepsy please help me

I sure hope that they fire a cure for epilepsy soon. I've been dealing with epilepsy over 20yrs.

Can I get both? Coz I got that tonic clonic one and sometimes I got that petit mal one. I got one tonic clonic one after my surgery yesterday. Been like this since my accident in 2020.

I'm 17 and had two seizures, one at home and the other at the hospital. I was out for a whole day. Had a mri scan left side of my brain is not as right as it should be ? Something like that

Ahh so the absence seizures that i have could be generalised? I always thought that it was focal. Ive had a few doctors say it is temporal lobe epilepsy?

I have seizures like this ever since I was nine until now

Hi Dr Mike can these seizures be related to hemiplegic migraine, I am getting daily symptoms of something like this, but with migraine, I see stars but no stripes, sometimes I get them with no arura at all . Accept for tunnel vision.

few days ago I fell down the stairs and hit my forehead hard enough that I was clueless, speaking jibberish. Funny thing is, I didn’t have the Grand Mal seizure until literally seconds after the doctor asked me if I needed a catheter or if I can pee in a cup.

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

We had a 6 month old epilepsy patient having a full body tonic clonic seizure but was conscious and tracking us with their eyes . So I disagree that all generalised seizures result in unconsciousness

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

my son diagnose IGE(idiopathic generalized epilepsy). He have a maintenance medicine to take for almost 5 years. Is it true that it will gone if a child reach 7 years old?

is it generalized seizures if you are unconscious but your eyes are still open the whole time? Like you are in a catatonic state?

i have had one seizure in my life while smoking cannabis me and my friends would stupidly hold our breath and choke ourselves well i did it for the last time and had a seizure while i saw myself locked in a vivid alternate form of conscience, it was terrifying and its safe to say i never did that again

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

I observed a patient having a generalized seizure recently. The first thing the ED doctors did was put the patient on oxygen with a non-rebreathable. I am unable to understand why oxygen is recommended in such cases. Will you be able to shed some light, please? Thank you.

should i care if a started having seizures as an adult or just ride it out

0:27 OR Head Injuries

Why do you have a seizure while only while sleeping?

I had intense dizziness and vomiting. I was was extremely tired afterwards.

So if I had an out of body experience/hallucination growing up from a high fever would that have been a seizure?

Ummm I woke up the vid was paused and I just saw my class with the school nurse who was luckily trained like a professor in med and my friend said that I had a seizure and she just looked pale and shocked and just yeah took a few breaths and calmed down

I have atonic seizures. Suddenly I fall on the floor and I had many injuries. I hate it

How effective is oxygen when a patient is unable to breathe during a seizure?

My epilepsy it s like jme a mean tonic clonic, absence and myoclonic. With myoclonic i Don't lose consciousness.

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.

I have jeavons syndrome it's one of the rarest forms of epilepsy

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

Sigh. Good video but it wud really help if u weren't standing in front of the board all the time

? 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.

I've had epilepsy since I was 8, and I was always told that I wasn't allowed to take Benadryl because of this. Why is that?

I have absent seizures and I’m fully conscious

I started having this wierd twithing where I couldn't speak lasted about 6 seconds 2017 now I have been diagnosed with focal seizures. I made my way to northwestern at first I was diagnosed with faciobracio dystonic seizures and was treated with plasma phersis. but that wasn't it now diagnosed with focal seizures now I never had anything like this in my life. I am 58 and still blows my mind. after many scans and MRI's this is my diagnosis also tried differnt meds this will be my 4th med called xcopri see my video it is nothing that I have seen after many searches I decided I would share this video.

This is incorrect information my neurologist diagnosis me with complex partial seizures and I’m currently on lamictin and i have been seizure free for 6 months already
