Doctor's answer:

Early symptoms of epilepsy may reappear in various forms, including hallucinations, illusions, and unconscious actions such as sucking, chewing, biting the lips, undressing, and unbuttoning clothes. The characteristics of a minor recurrence include sudden, brief loss of consciousness, anorexia after the episode, interruption of speech, cessation of movement, and fixation in a particular posture without falling, with eyes staring blankly. Sometimes the face may turn pale, without muscle convulsions, and the episode lasts for 2-10 seconds, not exceeding 30 seconds, with full recovery of consciousness and return to normal activity very quickly.
