Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #6: Seizures
Seizures occur when there is excessive neuronal activity in the brain. It can lead to uncontrolled shaking and loss of consciousness. Most seizures last less than 2 minutes and it takes a while for the individual to return to normal. When seizures occur, there can also be loss of bladder or bowel control.
Some seizures can be triggered by alcohol withdrawal, low blood sugar, brain infection (such as meningitis), concussion, hyponatremia, and fever. Seizures that last more than 5 minutes are considered a medical emergency.
