Seizures can affect anyone and occur when a large number of nerve cells, known as neurons, release an uncontrolled electrical charge simultaneously. This surge of electrical activity overwhelms the brain, leading to a seizure. Symptoms can vary, including temporary muscle spasms, loss of consciousness, unusual behaviours, or other physical signs.
It’s important to note that each seizures that occur are not always the same, and children may experience a wide range of symptoms depending on the type of seizure.
Diagnosing seizures in children can be particularly challenging. Seizures often last only a short time, making it unlikely that a doctor will witness one during an appointment. Additionally, it’s crucial to rule out other conditions that might mimic seizures, such as non-epileptic episodes caused by factors like low blood sugar or changes in blood pressure.
