Loss of Body Control
Many types of seizures cause a person to lose consciousness. When having a seizure, people can't control the sensations and movements they're experiencing, and in many cases, they aren't aware that it's happening.
During the seizure, they may drool or make grunting noises. They may lose control of their bodily functions and urinate or have a bowel movement, and they may even stop breathing temporarily. After the seizure ends, the person may be confused or embarrassed. Avoiding judgment and remaining calm can help.2‘Seizures.’ MedlinePlus - Health Information from the National Library of Medicine, medlineplus.gov/ency/article/003200.htm
