A great fit is almost always preceded by an aura( impairment, visual, auditory and olfactory hallucinations).A large convulsive fit is characterized by a spasm of the glottis, a groan escapes from the patient, it falls sharply and turns pale. Then the face becomes bluish. The head is thrown back, there is no breath, the pupils do not respond to light. This phase lasts up to 30 seconds. Then comes the next phase, which lasts an average of 3 minutes. The patient convulsively inhales and starts to breathe, his face turns red, and at the same time clinical cramps begin. The patient can bite his tongue, possibly involuntary urination and defecation. Then all muscles relax and a deep sleep comes. As a rule, the patient does not remember the attack.
Large epileptic seizure begins with a powerful cramp, from which the body arches in the form of an arc: arms and legs are pulled together, the head and back are bent back. Jaw muscles contract, often with this bites and traumatizes the tongue. Breathing stops, pupils do not respond to light. The eyes are either closed, or turned up so that only the protein is visible. As a rule, a cramp is accompanied by loss of consciousness. If a person was sitting or standing, he falls, why the illness is called fallout. The spasm is replaced by the rhythmic twitching of the muscles, in which the patient can beat on the floor or asphalt, depending on where he fell during the fit, and sometimes can injure himself. Foam comes out of his mouth. Perhaps involuntary urination and bowel movement. The seizure lasts for several minutes, after which a deep sleep usually occurs.
A small fit of epilepsy is a short-term loss of consciousness. Convulsions with small seizures are absent or weakly expressed. They are expressed in the loss of consciousness for a few seconds. The patient stops in mid-sentence, and after the seizure continues the work begun. Often such seizures are not even noticeable to others. Epileptic status is characterized by seizures that continuously follow each other.
Based on the analysis of manifestations of the disease, as well as on the results of the electroencephalogram and computed tomography.
Harbinger of the attack: as a rule, every person who is prone to epileptic seizures has its signs - harbingers of an attack. Often this is a feeling of general malaise, a sudden severe headache, a fit of bad mood and excessive irritability. There are some certain repetitive movements( shifting pencils, correcting hair, trampling or spinning in one place).There may be a short-term disorder of consciousness in the form of hallucinations. Someone has a fever, and someone - a chill. A sudden heartbeat and constriction in the chest can also be signs of an impending attack.
The incidence of seizures varies from several seizures per day in severe cases to one seizure per year with mild illness. Nevertheless, epilepsy is not completely cured, although children who have had epileptic seizures can get rid of it by the age of 9-10.
