this was my first time ( late 20's now 67) helping anyone as a first responder so many years ago. At a restaurant paying the bill at the cash register, the guy next to me went into a grand mall and hit his head on the register and went to the floor convulsing heavily. After a couple of thumps with the back of his head on the hard floor, I stuck my foot under his head and guided his arms and legs so as not to hit anything.. After a little more that 2 minutes he calmed down but looked like he was sleeping. The Manager came out and asked me if we could move him beck into the kitchen out of sight so as to not make a scene ( blocking the only exit in or out the front). i stayed with him10-15 minutes till the paramedics arrived , him never becoming conscious. I had a tour bus to catch waiting for me in the parking lot.

I’m in a tough spot. I’m in the military and have recently been diagnosed with narcolepsy and may have seizures associated with it. The thing is, I’ve had 6 incidents in the past 8 months, and three within the last 2 weeks. I live alone, and cannot tell if I had a seizure, but when I come too, I’m extremely fatigued/tired, sore, and many times incoherent. The last two incidents I had, there were people present, saying I was seizing. My neurologist has me scheduled for a 3 day EEG, but said that it still does not guarantee that a seizure(s) will be detected. Furthermore, I cannot drive, and have to be incident free for no less than 6 months before I can even me looked at retaining my driving privileges back. Every incident that happens, starts my 6 month clock back at 0. To make things worse, I’m coming up on the last leg of my Medical Board, and the VA has only rated me at 10% for the narcolepsy, stating that the medication I was on puts me in a stable position and controls my epilepsy, when in fact that is false. If there is anyone that can help me in any, I’m all ears.

Talk to the VSO in your area. Sometimes you'll get lucky and the DAV/Legion might be worth a damn in your area & might be able to help boost your rating.

I just began experiencing grand mal seizures on Feb. 15th this year. Before that for about 5 years I had experiences of very strong deja Vu and nausea but I never experienced a seizure but that day I had strong deja Vu and nausea and began sweating profusely and vomiting for 12 hours and had my first seizure at 2am that morning. I experienced my 2nd-5th seizures on March 20th and ended up in the ER again. I'm 35 years old. Thank you for making this video.
Thanks for your feedback. FYI Tonic-clonic seizures, formerly known as grand mal seizures
@@epilepsysouthcentralontario I'm still learning the terminology. So far nobody I have spoken to knew what a tonic-clonic seizure is but everyone I mention grand mal seizure to seems to recognize the name (other than doctors). The ER labeled my seizures as generalized tonic clonic.
Random question nick do you take unison sleep gels or similar sleeps aids?
@@thunderbluff95 no I don't take any sort of sleep tablets but I've been thinking about trying them. Keppra does not help me sleep at all.
I'm 37, I just had my first unprovoked Tonic-Clonic seizure on 4-29. Things have been weird since then. 4 times in the last few weeks my Apple watch has alerted me that heart rate increased while at rest, ramping up from about 85bpm to anywhere from 120-140 within a 5 to 10 minute... just setting at my computer. I have no history of heart problems and this never happened before the seizure. I have had migraines all my life and take medication to treat them. I have them about 3 times more often now. Everyone keeps trying to reassure me that lots of people will have one seizure in there lifetime and never have another... I am so scared cause I know something isn't right. something in my head is different and I just fear I am not out of the woods yet. EEG looked normal but was 2 weeks after the seizure. Still waiting for results from the MRI.
I witnessed a customer have a tonic clonic seizure last night at work. He immediately fell backward and hit his head on the floor and busted his head open. A woman ran to him but would not place him on his side. I yelled at her to do so. She was more concerned about his head bleeding onto her. I grabbed a ton of rags and told her to put him on his side. It was very scary.

You absolutely can not swallow or choke on ur own tongue ur tongue can flip upwards in ur mouth but it won’t do anything more than make you look like ur trying to swallow it I have a 16 year old son who has had seizures since he was two and diagnosed with epilepsy at age 8 now he’s 6ft 2 n body changed etc his seizures are more scarier etc I stay calm put something soft under his head wipe any saliva or sock coming out of his mouth when he stops convulsing I turn him on his side through out the whole seizure I comfort him and speak to him even if I’m in a panic xxxx

why call 911 if the epileptic person has diabetes ? pls
because if blood sugar gets extremely low it causes seizures, and it needs to be fixed immediately.
isr iissrr - if blood sugar drops too low, the person will go comatose. That is another injury you never ever want. Anything that has to do with the brain is very highly susceptible to blood sugar issues.
I had seizures since I was 13 years old and it was no fun. Didn't like it one bit.
I was 12 when was diagnosed with Epilepsy
@@crazycutecatlady33 I've had seizures since I was 10, but I didn't get diagnosed with epilepsy until I was 56!
I was out from I was at the teller to I was in the Emergency so must have been more than 5 Minutes. If someone had put a wallet or fabric in my mouth My tongue wouldn't be broken in two part. My wallet was in my bag was it so hard to stick a fairly thing in to prevent injury. MY EXPERIENCE WAS NOT LIKE THOSE. IT WAS WILDLY THRASHING. I WAS TOLD. I WAS HURTING MY HEAD MY TONGUE, NOSE, FACE, BLEEDING A LOT. DONT BELIEVE THOSE CZcams CLIPS.
Do you get auras before your seizures? If so, that would be the time to stick something in your mouth if you want. Once you're in the tonic phase, your teeth will already be clamped down, so no one could have helped that.

Is that possible epilepsy seizures lasts for 24 hours ?or the patient behave as some paranormal type activity means in a fit of furry the patient while standing passes urine or try to suicide by jumping out of window?are all signs may be of epilepsy?
If a seizure lasts 24 hours the person is dead. Seizures cause bits of brain damage each time, that why you have to call 911 if it doesn't end in five minutes because there is a risk of brain damage and brain death if doctors can't stop the seizure after too long. It is common to lose control of ur bladder during a tonic clonic seizure but not everyone experiences that and it doesn't happen every single time, a seizure also doesn't cause someone to try to jump out the window their muscles are too stiff and spasming for them to even stand, I hope I answered all your questions
Yea seizures can't last that long anyway the person would die long be for the 24 hr period
i have absence and tonic / clonic seizures because of m.s. and i have written down where my ex - wife would yell and cuss at me as i was staring forward without being able to respond, apparently i heard her to be able to write it down,, apprently , she thougt i was doing it on purpose

A serious this topic is they had to make sure that it was politically correct and have a mixed race couple. Really?

Who cares?
How do you know they were "a couple"?
