what triggers an EPILEPTIC SEIZURE?

Some people are able to identify things or situations that can trigger seizures.
A few of the most commonly reported triggers are:
• lack of sleep
• illness or fever
• stress
• bright lights, flashing lights, or patterns
• caffeine, alcohol, medicines, or drugs
• skipping meals, overeating, or specific food ingredients

Identifying triggers isn’t always easy. A single incident doesn’t always mean something is a trigger. It’s often a combination of factors that trigger a seizure.

what are the symptoms of EPILEPSY?
Seizures are the main symptom of epilepsy. Symptoms differ from person to person and according to the type of seizure.
FOCAL (PARTIAL) SEIZURES & GENERALIZED SEIZURES

GENERALIZED SEIZURES :
Generalized seizures involve the whole brain.
There are six types:
- Absence seizures, cause a blank stare & repetitive movements like lip smacking or blinking. There’s also usually a short loss of awareness.
- Tonic seizures cause muscle stiffness.
- Atonic seizures lead to loss of muscle control and can make you fall down suddenly.
- Clonic seizures are characterized by repeated, jerky muscle movements of the face, neck, and arms.
- Myoclonic seizures cause spontaneous quick twitching of the arms and legs.
- Tonic-clonic seizures used to be called “grand mal seizures.” Symptoms include:
• stiffening of the body • shaking • loss of bladder or bowel control • biting of the tongue • loss of consciousness
