What are the symptoms of a seizure?

Patient's question:

At the time of going off work, it suddenly appeared again with twitching and rolling of the whites of the eyes. My aunt said that it seems like I have epilepsy.

Doctor's answer:

General symptoms of epilepsy include: sudden loss of consciousness, falling to the ground, head extension, diaphragmatic spasms leading to barking, limb convulsions, foaming at the mouth, bluish complexion, upward rolling of the eyes, sometimes accompanied by incontinence of urine and feces. After a recurrence, the patient cannot recall the process of the recurrence, experiencing general pain and fatigue; sudden cessation of speech and movement, staring eyes or slapping the table, dropping objects in hand. It is recommended to seek a thorough medical examination at the hospital. Daily treatment for epilepsy patients primarily focuses on symptomatic treatment. Patients can take various oral medications, supplemented by vitamins, and should pay attention to diet, consuming light, soft, and easily digestible foods. We hope epilepsy patients can recover quickly! Thank you!
