What kind of symptoms does epilepsy exhibit?

  1, tonic clonic seizure manifested as prominent loss of consciousness, whole body muscle contraction, repulsion and stiffness of limbs, and fall down. Due to the sudden contraction of respiratory muscles, compression of the chest cavity, so that the gas in the lungs quickly squeezed out to the throat, there will be an unpleasant roar, followed by a pause in breathing, facial purple and blue, large eyes, eyes upward slanting, fearful expression, the whole body backward, lasting about 10 seconds, the limb muscle tension gradually decreased into the clonic phase, manifested by violent rhythmic flexion and contraction of the limbs, one after another, at this time Respiratory movements also began to resume, the frequency of breathing and the rhythm of limb twitching consistent with the basic airflow repeatedly through the mouth, at this time there is a large amount of saliva in the mouth through the role of airflow inhalation and exhalation, the formation of foam, because it can not be swallowed and flow out of the mouth as a white foam.  2, disorientation seizure performance is ongoing activities stop, eyes straight, staring forward, loss of consciousness, frozen in the original position, but do not fall, holding the object will not fall to the ground, if you are talking, language will suddenly stop, lasting about a few seconds of self-relief.  3, compulsive seizure is a sudden onset of rigid strong muscle contraction, loss of consciousness, neck extension, head tilted forward or to the side, eyes open or tightly closed, both shoulders up, both arms unfolded, elbows semi-flexed, this posture can be maintained for a few moments, sometimes fall, face from pale to flushed to purple and blue.  4. Myoclonic seizures are rapid and powerful contractions of certain muscles or muscle groups, causing rapid electric shock-like jerking of the limbs, face and trunk, such as rapid head nodding, shoulder shrugging, torso tilting forward or backward, standing or walking seizures can be manifested as a sudden and forceful fall to the ground.  5, clonic seizures, the limbs or trunk rhythmic, continuous, jerking, limb flexion and extension speed is not necessarily equal, often fast flexion, extension of the action is slow, loss of consciousness during the seizure, the duration of the jerking varies, the jerking frequency gradually slowed down and finally stopped.  6, dystonic seizure manifested as a sudden loss of muscle strength, can not maintain the normal posture of the head, limbs and trunk, like a broken string puppet, there is a very short loss of consciousness during the seizure.  7. Partial motor seizures are manifested as twitching of a part of the body, most commonly the fingers or the whole hand, facial orofacial twitching is also common, the seizure is conscious and can answer, if the orofacial twitching affects speech. It can also be manifested as twitching of half of the limb, or a part of the limb starts twitching in a certain order and spreads around, such as starting with the right hand and thumb, gradually spreading to the other four fingers of the right hand, right upper arm, right shoulder, right torso, right thigh, right calf and toes.  8. Partial sensory seizures There is no twitching of limbs during seizures, but there is a prominent occurrence of somatic sensory abnormalities, such as sudden onset of pain, numbness, or some abnormal sensations that are difficult to describe, these pains and numbness are not caused by diseases in other parts of the body, no other causes can be found, and they can be relieved by themselves without treatment.  Some patients may exhibit episodes of hallucinations, hallucinations of vision, hallucinations of smell, etc., which can be accompanied by behavioral abnormalities. Others can present with prominent headache, dizziness, speech difficulties, etc.  In conclusion, epilepsy can have a variety of manifestations, but all are characterized by sudden onset, sudden cessation, recurrent occurrence, and generally self-resolving.
