I never had seizure in my life, but I have witnessed my two sons who had it due to very high fever. My oldest son had 1 seizure at 3years old, it happened suddenly while he was sleeping I just felt the bed shaking ,I was so scare and crying at first .It lasted for 2minutes .When my youngest son had seizure at 1 year old he suddenly fell on the floor and started jerking , his eye change to white it lasted for 2minutes too . At that time, the signs of seizure that I experienced included muscle jerking, foaming saliva, sweating, trembling, and shaking. I also experienced intense fear at that moment that I had to take them to the ER after the occurrence.
The previous nursing modules have enabled me to understand different issues about seizure disorders. Having witnessed the seizure disorder at one point in my life, I have come to understand that it is a condition that affects anyone. Epilepsy may occur due to a genetic disorder or an acquired brain injury, such as a trauma or stroke. During a seizure, a person experiences abnormal behavior, symptoms, and sensations, including loss of consciousness.
