A seizure can be a symptom of a serious medical issue. To diagnose epilepsy, other conditions that cause seizures should be ruled out. A doctor will probably order a complete blood count (CBC) and the chemistry of your blood

Risks Associated With Seizures

Having uncontrollable seizures may put you at risk for injuries. People with epilepsy, by definition having two or more unprovoked seizures, are at greater risk for a seizure-related injury. They also tend to have higher incidences of accidents outside of a seizure. Those with seizures that result in an alteration or loss of consciousness, like during atonic seizures or tonic-clonic seizures, are at the highest risk of injury. Notably, most risks are not fatal. The type of injuries associated with seizures depends on the type of seizure and severity. Broken Bones Fractures are a common injury in people with epilepsy. Fractures can occur due to the inability to activate protective reflexes during seizures, resulting in falls. The muscle contractions of seizures themselves can also pose a great load on the skeleton. Additionally, some antiepileptic medications are known to reduce bone mass density.20 Burns Incidences of burns are more common among people dealing with epilepsy than the greater population. Most reported burns happen during daily activities like cooking or ironing.21 Shoulder Dislocations Posterior shoulder dislocations are described as seizure-related injuries but are fairly rare events. In the case of someone who is experiencing a seizure, ensuring that the person is not lying on their side during the episode may lower the risk of a shoulder dislocation. Car Accidents Driving is often a common concern for those dealing with epilepsy due to the possibility of unprovoked seizures occurring while the individual is behind the wheel. However, fatal crash rates are 26 times greater in the drivers with other medical issues than among those dealing with epilepsy. It is important to recognize that the likelihood of an accident occurring while driving does increase if you are dealing with a seizure disorder. Aspiration Aspiration is defined as the drawing in (or out) of a substance by suction. When food, liquid, or other material enters the lungs or airways by accident, aspiration is occurring. Aspiration is rare but normal and even happens in healthy individuals during sleep. The body’s reflexes usually keep the substances out. Activating these reflexes during and after a seizure is difficult. In some cases, aspiration can lead to respiratory disease such as aspiration pneumonia. During the middle of a seizure, or during the ictal phase, there is a low risk of aspiration. After a seizure is when the risk of oral secretions entering the airways by accident increases. It is recommended that a person be turned to their side after a seizure in order to avoid aspiration. Aspiration can eventually lead to aspiration pneumonia, which is characterized by the failure of normal body mechanisms to keep food and liquid out of the lungs, resulting in inflammation, infection, or obstruction of the airway

Epilepsy and Sleep Deprivation

People with epilepsy need to get the proper amount of sleep. Losing sleep can increase the frequency of seizures in persons with epilepsy11, including those who have never had seizures before, but this connection isn't apparent in all patients. Neuronal excitability is one theory as to why sleep loss may cause seizures. Brain neurons are more prone to cause significant alterations in electrical activity when underslept. These significant fluctuations in electrical activity can turn aberrant in an epileptic and trigger a seizure.

NFLE & BECTS

Nearly all seizures in persons with nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (NFLE) take place during NREM sleep. Although this illness can manifest at any age, it typically first manifests in childhood. People with NFLE may not be aware of nightly seizure activity after waking up. Benign epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (BECTS): Between the ages of 3 and 13 years old, BECTS is the epilepsy in children that is most frequently diagnosed. Seventy percent of the seizures that these children have during sleep—typically just after going to sleep or just before waking up in the morning—occur during sleep

Who treats Epilepsy?

People with epilepsy are treated by numerous healthcare professionals. When a person with epilepsy experiences a new seizure, primary care professionals like family doctors, pediatricians, and nurse practitioners are frequently the first to see the patient. These professionals might identify epilepsy or see a neurologist or epileptologist before making the diagnosis. A physician with a focus on the nervous system and the brain is known as a neurologist. A neurologist with expertise in epilepsy is known as an epileptologist. The patient may be sent to a neurologist or epileptologist for specialized care when issues arise, such as seizures or medication side effects. A person may be referred to an epilepsy center if they experience seizures that are challenging to control or if they require advanced treatment for epilepsy. Those that specialize in treating epilepsy are employed by epilepsy centers, including ● neurologists and epileptologists. ● Nurses ● Psychologists ● Technicians. ● Numerous epilepsy clinics collaborate with academic medical centers and researchers.

What factors can trigger Seizures in Epileptic patients?

Some people can pinpoint the events or circumstances that cause their seizures.Several of the most typical triggers include: ● absence of sleep ● a fever or sickness ● stress ● flashing or patterned lights, or both ● Caffeine, alcohol, or alcohol withdrawal, narcotics, or prescription medications ● skipping meals, overindulging, or certain dietary components ● really low blood sugar ● a brain injury Finding triggers is not always simple. It's not necessarily true that a single occurrence qualifies as a trigger. Frequently, a seizure is brought on by a number of circumstances.

Rate of Epilepsy

A large amount of the global disease burden is accounted for by epilepsy, which affects about 50 million individuals globally. Between 4 and 10 per 1000 people  are thought to be affected by active epilepsy at any given moment, defined as having ongoing seizures or needing treatment. Each year, epilepsy affects an estimated 5 million people worldwide. Epilepsy is thought to be diagnosed in 49 out of every 100,000 people annually in high-income countries. This number can reach 139 per 100 000 in low- and middle-income nations.

It's crucial to correctly diagnose both the type of epilepsy and the type of seizures. Seizures fall into a number of broad categories, and the majority of them are linked to certain varieties of the condition

Risks of living with Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a chronic illness that has various effects on individuals. Many epileptics live typical, active lives. Seventy to eighty percent of epileptics can successfully manage their seizures with medication or surgical procedures. Two potentially fatal disorders, tonic-clonic status epilepticus and sudden unexplained death in epilepsy, can affect people with epilepsy (SUDEP). A long-lasting seizure known as tonic-clonic status epilepticus is a medical emergency. If discontinued after roughly 30 minutes, it could result in lasting harm or even death.Even though the chance is small, epileptics can also pass away from inhaling vomit during or right after a seizure

If you have a sudden spike or crash in blood sugar, this could cause seizures. This is why it is generally best to avoid high sugar, processed foods such as cookies, cakes, candy and white bread. Ideally you should aim to follow a balanced diet which will release energy into your bloodstream at a slower, steadier rate. This could potentially reduce the number of seizures you have

Search and rescue : Still a mystery

There were a huge number of individuals who mentioned the resemblance between David Paulides' and some of my tales. I promise you that I'm not in any way attempting to rip him off, I only have respect for the person. In fact, it's what motivated me to write it, because I can check many things he's talking about. We have several of these weird missing cases and they are not solved most of the time.Or we discover them in locations where they don't have a business. I haven't been in many calls like this firsthand, but I'm going to share several I saw and a story like this that my friend told me.

Feedback on the staircase was a lot, so I'll touch that here briefly and I'll include a tale too. They are available in various forms, sizes, styles and conditions. Some are quite rubbled, others are fairly new. Some are quite ruins. I observed a set which seemed as though it was coming from a lighthouse: metal and spiral, almost old-fashioned. The steps do not rise indefinitely or go beyond my vision, yet some are higher than others. Just think of the stairs in your house like I stated earlier, as if somebody was cutting them in the center of nowhere. I have no photos, it never occurred to me to attempt again the first time and I don't really feel like endangering my job. In the future, I will try again, but I can promise nothing.

Some people had perplexity regarding the person who ran without a face into the man. To make it clear, he spotted another man in a park and in ski pants, as he went up on top of this mountain. He has no face, that's the dude. Sorry, I'm going to attempt to avoid this misleading phrasing in the future.
