Seizures are changes in the brain’s electrical activity. These changes can cause dramatic, noticeable symptoms, or in other cases no symptoms at all. Seizures can stem from a number of health conditions. Anything that affects the body also may disturb the brain and lead to a seizure. Some examples include:alcohol withdrawal, a brain infection, such as meningitis, a brain injury during childbirth, a brain defect present at birth, choking drug abuse, drug withdrawal, an electrolyte imbalance, electric shock, epilepsy, extremely high blood pressure, a fever, head trauma, kidney or liver failure, low blood glucose levels, a stroke, a brain tumor, vascular abnormality in the brain.
It might be scary to witness, but do not panic. If you’re with someone having a seizure: only move them if they’re in danger, such as near a busy road or hot cooker, cushion their head if they’re on the ground, loosen any tight clothing around their neck, such as a collar or tie, to aid breathing
turn them on to their side after their convulsions stop.
