What Happens During A Tonic-clonic Seizure Event? - Epilepsy Wellness Hub
What Happens During A Tonic-clonic Seizure Event? Have you ever wondered what happens during a tonic-clonic seizure and how it affects the body? In this informative video, we'll explain the key stages and signs of a tonic-clonic seizure, also known as a grand mal seizure. We'll start by describing the initial phase, where muscles stiffen suddenly, often causing the person to fall and lose consciousness. You'll learn about common symptoms like groaning, biting, and loss of bladder or bowel control. Next, we'll cover the rhythmic jerking movements that characterize the second phase, including changes in breathing and skin color. We'll also discuss the post-seizure period, known as the postictal phase, where individuals may feel confused, sleepy, or irritable for a variable amount of time. Additionally, we'll explain how these seizures can start unexpectedly or be preceded by an aura, a warning sensation. Our video will clarify the difference between generalized seizures and focal seizures that spread. We’ll also highlight the importance of quick medical attention if a seizure lasts longer than five minutes or if multiple seizures occur without recovery. If you or someone you know experiences seizures, understanding what to expect can be lifesaving.
