You can speak, but as you would be semi-conscious at least, you would not be very coherent. It would be like someone talking in their sleep. People will sometimes repeat something over and over, but they would not know what they are saying until they begin to come out of the seizure. They won't know what they were saying, or really anything about what was happening at the height of the seizure. They will know they were having one, but not much about it. It is like when you wake up, and you know that you were asleep, but don't know what was happening when you were asleep, but begin to become aware of things as you wake up.
Yes, but they would not be having a conversation with someone. They are unconscious and unaware of their background. They may do things like starting to repeat some words over and over, like someone might talk in their sleep.
There are a wide range of types and severity of seizure. For some minor seizures a person would indeed be able to walk and do many other things as normal. Some people around them would not even realise they are having a seizure. For very serious seizures, doing normal activities would be more difficult.
For some very mild seizures, yes. A person may feel a bit strange for a few seconds, be perfectly aware of it, and then that feeling goes away again. It is a seizure of sorts, but extremely mild and not resulting in a loss of consciousness. Sometimes a strange feeling will mark the starting point of a seizure and the person will feel it coming, but then lose consciousness. The first part is like a warning to them that they are going to have a full seizure. It is known as an Aura. For different people, their aura may be different. For some people it is hard to describe. It could be a physical sensation, like a tightening of the throat or a tingle in parts of their body, something like the way anyone can get the pins and needles feeling, or it could be an emotional feeling, like a sense of fear. So sometimes a person may get an aura, but the seizure doesn't go any further than that, so they don't lose consciousness. They'll feel strange for a few seconds, and then it is all over.
You cannot talk while your having a seizure because your brain cannot concentrate while having a seizure.
Sometimes. It depends how severe the seizure is. If there is a lot of bleeding in the brain, the trachea may close and prevent breathing.
Sometimes.Though at times it can be impossible to respond.
When it happened. How long it lasted. The type of seizure. How the person felt before and after the seizure. Did they have an aura? Any potential reasons for the seizure. If you are the person who has had the seizure, some of the information can obviously only be got by someone who saw the seizure, so you will need to talk to them. If no one saw it, just record what you know. If you are recording details of another person's seizure, then you will need to get some information from them.
It is a possibility. On the other hand, a previous seizure would also have been noticed. Regardless, seizures that appear to create this sort of reaction in a person should be discuseed and reviewed by a doctor.
That is a simple analogy or what is happening during a seizure. There is constant electrical activity in the brain. When it gets disrupted a bit, a person can have a seizure.
Some partial seizures are associated with an altered level of consciousness, even though the person might appear to be awake and his or her eyes may be open. In this type of seizure, called a complex partial seizure, the affected person is unaware of the people nearby during the event, is not aware of his or her own movements or behaviors during the seizure, and does not remember the seizure after it occurs. When the person having a partial seizure is aware of having a seizure, is aware of his or her surroundings and remembers the event afterward, the seizure is classified as a simple partial seizure.
Yes, by the person falling down and/or thrashing around during the seizure, broken bones are certainly possible.
After having a seizure a person will become tired and feel worn down. Upon coming out of a seizure a person can be confused, disoriented and lack the ability to concentrate. Seizures can have many other effects as well depending on the person, type of seizure and severity of the seizure.
The government usually steps in to acquire a person's assets in the event of a crime. This is referred to as an asset seizure. Government officials will literally confiscate the belongings of the criminal.
Not really no, you can only determine it from patient history, first person observation or EEG changes during a seizure.
Tonic-clonic seizures end in a final generalized spasm. The affected person can lose consciousness during tonic and clonic phases of seizure.
Patient doesn't want to fall in water or fire. Patient with epilepsy can get seizure anywhere and if during the seizure the person falls in water or fire he will not be able to protect himself because of loss of consciousness. So the person who sees such event has to save the epileptic person from harm.
Yes, electroconvulsive therapy can cause a seizure in people that have never had a seizure. However, beyond that, general electrical stimulation on the body (such as with a TENS machine) should not induce a seizure in a person who is not an epileptic.
It would not be possible to meet. Talk to your doctor.
