Seizure Disorder and how we care for it
A seizure is a sudden, uncontrolled electrical interference between neurons in the brain. It can cause temporary abnormalities in your behavior, movements, feelings, and levels of consciousness. A seizure can either be acute meaning it happens once due to medication or chronically, also called epilepsy.
The symptoms may depend on the type of seizure. General symptoms or caution signs of a seizure include:
- Twitching movements of the arms and legs
- Body stiffness
- Loss of consciousness
- Sudden falling
- Loss of bladder control
- Showing no response for small periods
- Appearing confused or staring
- Nodding your head rhythmically
- Rapid eye blinking
The goal of treatment is to control, stop, or reduce how often seizures occur. Treatment is most often done with medicine. Signature can help by educating you regarding warning signs, triggers, medications, and physical and occupational therapy in a program of exercise and rehabilitation.
Signature also helps treat seizures by educating about prescribed medications and management, reducing your alcohol intake, teaching stress relief, avoidance, and coping techniques, learning to avoid triggers, and practicing self-care.
