Epilepsy Symptoms, Causes and More
4. What Happens During a Seizure?
At the beginning of a seizure the person may start to feel strange. The middle period is when the seizure begins in earnest and offers the most visible symptoms. During this time, the person may not be able to talk and may experience loss of physical coordination and jerking movements of the legs or arms. Their eyes may be unable to focus or roll back in their head.
Most seizures last 30 seconds to 2 minutes. The recovery phase after the seizure, can last minutes or hours .1‘What Is Epilepsy?’ Epilepsy Foundation, 21 January 2014, www.epilepsy.com/learn/about-epilepsy-basics/what-epilepsy.
