Tingling and Stiffness
Many people have had their foot or hand fall asleep after hours of sitting in a cramped position or sleeping funny. However, if a person is experiencing tingling or stiff limbs with no typical explanation, it could be a sign that something is happening in the brain.
As a seizure begins, the nerve signals sent by the brain to the limbs can be affected. This can show up as tingling in the arms and legs or stiffness and twitching in the hands.3‘Epilepsy - Symptoms.’ Nhs.uk, 23 Oct. 2017, www.nhs.uk/conditions/epilepsy/symptoms
