What are the manifestations of seizures? Seizures have different manifestations in different patients, and can even be described as bizarre. The most common symptoms are twitching of the limbs, rolling of the eyes and foaming at the mouth, but other symptoms such as: seizure visual abnormalities, auditory abnormalities, olfactory abnormalities, seizure hallucinations, dazedness, chest and abdominal discomfort, numbness or cramps in the limbs, and seizure coma, abdominal pain, headache and abnormal behavior may be typical symptoms of seizures. Are the symptoms of seizures all the same? Most patients with epilepsy have fairly stereotypical seizure symptoms, with the same symptoms and seizure course each time. However, some patients have multiple seizure forms, some milder and some more violent seizures. Many small children have seizures that change form as they get older, and antiepileptic drugs can also cause changes in seizure symptoms. What is a grand mal vs. petit mal seizure? Grand mal and petit mal seizures are generalized early classifications of seizures. Grand mal seizures mainly refer to generalized tonic-clonic seizures and petit mal seizures mainly refer to limited seizures, but now this classification is largely not used. Many patients and family members mistakenly refer to seizures with large action, long duration and severe symptoms as grand mal seizures and vice versa as petit mal seizures, which is actually inaccurate. The current classification should be full-blown seizures and partial seizures. How to observe the patient’s seizure symptoms as a family member? Seizure symptoms are instructive in the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy. It makes sense to accurately capture the symptoms of a seizure with safety in mind. The main observations are to record the time of the seizure, what the patient was doing before the seizure, pre-seizure premonition, the first action or reaction during the seizure, whether the patient can answer questions during the seizure, whether there is any deflection of the body and head and eyes, and whether the patient is awake immediately after the seizure. If conditions allow, a video camera or cell phone can be used to take a video of the seizure.
