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

types and several reasons of SEIZURES (EPILEPSY)
There are two main types of seizures. Generalized seizures affect the whole brain. Focal, or partial seizures, affect just one part of the brain. A mild seizure may be difficult to recognize. It can last a few seconds during which you lack awareness. Stronger seizures can cause spasms and uncontrollable muscle twitches, and can last a few seconds to several minutes. During a stronger seizure, some people become confused or lose consciousness. Afterward you may have no memory of it happening.

There are several reasons you might have a seizure. These include:
- high fever
- head trauma
- very low blood sugar
- alcohol withdrawal

Epilepsy is a central nervous system (neurological) disorder in which brain activity becomes abnormal, causing seizures or periods of unusual behavior, sensations, and sometimes loss of awareness. Anyone can develop epilepsy.
Epilepsy and seizures can develop in any person at any age. Epilepsy is more common in young children and older people. Slightly more men than women have epilepsy.
