What happens during seizures?

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've been having some serious concerns about my health. I experienced seizures three times within just 15 minutes, which was pretty terrifying. I lost consciousness and then stopped breathing for a bit. Thankfully, I was rushed to the hospital, and I came to after around 10 hours. I had a CT and MRI scan done, and the doctors said it's a calcified granuloma. I'm really anxious about how long I need to stay on medication. Is this thing entirely curable, or is it something I should be worried about in terms of being life-threatening? And, even while on the meds, is there a chance I might have seizures again?

Based on your diagnosis of calcified granuloma, which is typically a benign condition, the duration of medication depends on your doctor's guidance, but usually, anticonvulsants are prescribed for 1-2 years after a seizure; while the condition is generally not life-threatening, it's crucial to adhere to your medication regimen to minimize the risk of future seizures, which is estimated to be around 20-30% even with treatment, so regular follow-ups with your neurologist are essential to monitor your condition and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

I've been experiencing some unusual sensations and I'm a bit concerned. Lately, I've noticed a persistent vibration throughout my body, but it seems like I'm the only one who can feel it. Additionally, there's this burning feeling in my legs that's quite uncomfortable. And on top of that, there's a tightness in the skin on both my legs and arms. It's a strange mix of symptoms, and I'm not sure what's causing them or what I should do next. Could you help shed some light on this?

Could be peripheral neuropathy, difficult to ascertain without proper examination and history taking. For the symptoms you have described, you can consider taking Neurobion Forte tablets, along with Shelcal HD tablets. These medications can help with nerve health and overall well-being.
