Seizures: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment
What Is a Seizure?
A seizure is abnormal electrical activity in the brain that happens quickly. It may go nearly unnoticed. In serious cases, it may cause unconsciousness and convulsions, when your body shakes uncontrollably.
Seizures usually come on suddenly. How long and serious they are can vary. A seizure can happen to you just once or over and over. If they keep coming back, that’s epilepsy, or a seizure disorder. Less than 1 in 10 people who have a seizure get epilepsy.
