Nausea and Dizziness
Part of the aura many people describe before a seizure is a sense of vertigo, or a feeling that the room is spinning. It could be mild or strong enough that it's hard to walk properly. A person may also experience nausea.2‘Seizures.’ MedlinePlus - Health Information from the National Library of Medicine, medlineplus.gov/ency/article/003200.htm
These are sometimes called warning symptoms. A person who has had seizures before may recognize these signs and begin preparing for further symptoms. It can be scary to see a person having a seizure, but it's important to remain calm.1‘Seizure First Aid.’ Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 10 Jan. 2019, www.cdc.gov/epilepsy/about/first-aid.htm
