Repeated Seizures
In most cases, seizures of all types pass on their own. See a doctor after the first seizure or if experiencing a different type of seizure than usual. Individuals who have regular seizures require one or more medications.
There's status epilepticus, a condition that can lead to permanent brain damage and death if left untreated. When a seizure lasts longer than five minutes or a person has multiple seizures in a row without regaining consciousness, it's status epilepticus, a medical emergency.3‘Epilepsy - Symptoms.’ Nhs.uk, 23 Oct. 2017, www.nhs.uk/conditions/epilepsy/symptoms
