Seizure trigger

Partial seizure is described as focal seizure. It take place in just one part of the brain that serves as an irritant pouring the epileptic response. In partial seizure, patient experience a range of bizarre or strange sensations including abrupt jerky movements of one body parts, alterations in hearing or seeing, discomfort in stomach or a sudden sense of fear. Consciousness is not impaired in this seizure (Shorvon et al., 2004). Partial seizures are further classified into simple partial…

In the case of idiopathic or constitutional epilepsy there is no neurologic abnormality and no specific cause can be identified. Seizures usually begin between five and twenty years of age, but they may start later in life. In the case of symptomatic epilepsy we know the causes. These might vary on a wide range. The most common causes are congenital abnormalities and perinatal injuries, metabolic disorders (withdrawal from alcohol, or drugs, uremia, hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia), trauma, tumors…

One big obstacle I had to over come was, when I discovered I had Frontal Lobe Epilepsy. I had my first seizure in my Junior year, October 18, 2013 on my best friends birthday, in the middle of my fathers AP United States History class. At the time we thought it was a one time thing and it was not going to happen again. That was until my Birthday party in July the following summer. We returned to the Neurologist to get another EEG and MRI. That is when we discovered that they were due to scar…

experienced seizures a period of hours after an initial asphyxia event, the effect that these seizures have in terms of neural damage however, is not known. Meldrum (1999) seizures as the sudden simultaneous firing of cells in a particular part of the brain. This is shown as high amplitude/high frequency EEG waves; and could cause physical convulsions of the body. The effect to the brain is a lot more wide spread with consequences that occur both during and for some time after the seizure…

Epilepsy is a chronic disorder with reoccurrence of unprovoked seizures that happens because of the electrical events that occur in the brain. An epileptic seiszure is a central nervous system disorder that affects neuron activity by causing an excessive amount of activity in the brain. This can be attributed to a large amount of action potentials that don’t allow for any relief, which can cause damage to the cell. Antiepileptic drug therapy for epilepsy even though proven to give relief to…

brain's neural activity becomes disrupted. The disruption causes periods of unusual activity and seizures. A seizure can sometimes cause a loss of consciousness. During a seizure, people can have several different symptoms. Some people twitch their arms and legs uncontrollably, and other people stare blankly until the seizure is over. Prescription Medications Anti-epileptic medication can prevent seizures in some people. Some people have to take a combination of medications. You doctor can let…

epileptic seizure is a sudden surge of electrical activity in the brain and is caused by an abnormal and excessive electrical discharge of a group of neurons within the brain. “Epilepsy is the condition of recurrent spontaneous seizures arising from abnormal electrical activity in the brain.” (Stafstorm & Rho 2014) Anyone can experience a seizure under the right conditions while epilepsy suggests an enduring variation of brain function that facilitates seizure reoccurrence. At a basic level…

activity in your brain is disturbed, causing a seizure. During a seizure one might experience involuntary shaking which may involve part of the body or the entire body, loss of consciousness, and possible loss of bowel or bladder control. Seizures can vary in length from brief lapses of attention or muscle jerks, to severe and prolonged convulsions. Seizures may also vary in how often they occur, from less than one per year to several per day. The seizure is defined as happening when there…

In India concept of epilepsy is known from ancient Indian medicine and it was developed during the Vedic period of .In the Ayurvedic literature of Charaka Samhita epilepsy is known…

proceeds, which is the bodily functions and movements during an exorcism that equal that of symptoms experienced during an epileptic seizure. Where 's the confusion between epilepsy and Demonic possession? “Epileptic seizures can interfere with your heart rhythm and breathing. During a seizure, misfires from the brain can tell your muscles to contract and relax. A seizure may cause muscles to jerk uncontrollably. When muscles surrounding your vocal cords seize up, it pushes out air. It sounds…
