Anyone with a brain can have a seizure. In this post, I will explain on the most common types of generalised seizures
When people hear about they think that the person has lost consciousness and started shaking which is not always the case. This is why it is very important to be able to know / be able to identify the most common types of epilepsy seizures, especially that they could happen at any age, any time and any place.
- Clonic seizures are repetitive rhythmic jerks affecting both sides of the body at the same time. They are usually part of tonic-clonic seizures and often occur in babies.
- Myoclonic seizures are brief, shock-like jerks of a muscle or a group of muscles, usually involving the upper body but can involve the entire body.
- Tonic seizures in the person’s body, arms and legs become stiff and rigid, which may cause the person to fall and injure themselves. These seizures often occur in clusters during sleep.
- Atonic seizures can cause a sudden loss of normal muscle tone, with the person often falling to the ground, if standing prior to the seizure.
- Myoclonic absence seizures include rhythmic jerks of the shoulders and arms and can also include protrusion of the lips, twitching of the corners of the mouth, jaw jerking or elevation of the arms.
- Absence seizures during the person has lapse in awareness and activity, and can be so brief that the person experiencing one is mistakenly thought to be “day-dreaming” or “zoning out”. They’re also known as “petit mal seizures”
- Tonic-clonic seizures are the most affecting seizures and also known as “grand mal seizures”. During this type of seizures, the person’s body stiffens and, if standing, they fall to the ground, followed by their limbs jerking in strong, symmetrical, rhythmic movements.
