What happens during seizures?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

During a seizure, many things might happen. Sufferers may lose the ability to swallow, have difficulty speaking, experience twitching or jerking movements in the body, and even experience convulsions. They may lose consciousness, see flashing lights, experience visual hallucinations, and feel out of body sensations.

I'm really worried about my mom. She was having viral and we were giving her paracetamol like the doctor said, but her fever went up to 103 on the third night. We talked to the doctor, and he told us to give her Meftal 250 mg. The next morning, she had excessive gas and stomach pain, and then she fainted and had a seizure for 35 seconds, which has never happened before. The doctor thinks it might be a reaction to the Meftal or maybe because she was dehydrated. She's doing better now, but should I be really concerned about this?

The seizure-like episode your mother experienced, likely due to a reaction to Meftal (Mefenamic acid) and dehydration, is a serious concern, as it may indicate a predisposition to seizures or a neurological issue; schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to discuss the incident, and consider consulting a neurologist for further evaluation and guidance to prevent future episodes.

I've been experiencing some trouble with balancing while walking over the past few days, and it feels like my head is spinning, especially when I wake up in the morning. It's a bit less noticeable as the day goes on, but it's still there. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

My daughter is 5 years old and she's been having seizures since she was nine months old. She's currently taking Valproin, Cloba, and Topamax, but the seizures still happen when she has a fever. I'm really worried and not sure what more we can do. Could you help us understand what's going on and what steps we might take next?
