The symptoms of elderly epilepsy include hallucinations or unconscious activities such as ticking sounds and sucking sounds. Generalized tonic-clonic seizures involve sudden loss of consciousness followed by intense tonic and clonic contractions with severe pain. Epilepsy patients often experience screaming, bluish complexion, incontinence, bitten tongue, foaming at the mouth with bloodstains, and dilated pupils. The intense pain lasts for tens of seconds or minutes before naturally subsiding, leading to a state of unconsciousness. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for relevant examinations and treatment.
