Common Questions and Answers about Seizure first aid guidelines

seizure

Avatar n tn I had Epilepsy diagnosed and my first seizure at age 30 - my social life improved. I cared more about what my life and work was doing to me. My guess is that any beer or alcohol is hirting your son. An average seizure is over in within 5", though mine are longer. There is info on first aid for epilepsy. Definitely if he falls protect his head against anything hard or sharp. During or after a seizure he may have mucus which can be relieved by turning him to the side.
401370 tn?1233324682 First of all, any officer of the law, in order to treat any inmate, has to be certified in CPR, First Aid, and alot of other procedures, and this is especially ONE of them! It's common in inmates who are detoxing cold turkey off of strong meds like morphine, and even worse on heroine!
Avatar n tn They provide special effort for individual patients having their hearing aid fitting proper and according to International guidelines.
18075342 tn?1462961588 Hoping that someone could help me. I am intending to do a first aid course from Rescue 7 in Toronto. The thing is that I have my grandma and grandpa at home and both are heart patients. So my mom advised me to do it to help them in emergency situations. The institute, that I mentioned here is near to my home and they provide following courses [url]https://www.rescue7.net/training/[/url]. Which one should I choose in order to help them?
Avatar m tn Hi my recently 9 year old Border Terrier had his first seizures 2 days ago. He was completely fine before hand and then on the night of the 3rd he had 4 seizures about an hour apart from each. I took him to the vet first thing in the morning and he put him on diazepam 10mg twice a day, and a 5 mg dose of a digestion aid, (I think for him to not experience too much stomach upset on the meds).
Avatar f tn I am 51 and am very frightened as last week I suffered my first ever seizure. It lasted about 30 seconds and I was just apparently staring glassily at my husband after shaking. I have been told I won't be able to drive for a year. My CT scan was clear though. I'm asthmatic as well, and at the time of seizure had been in intense pain from a urinary tract infection.
Avatar f tn first if you didn't you should have taken her to the hospital right away or called 911.So they could have seen what was going on with her. also you should be talking to her doctors about sending her for test,blood work up,neurologist and anyone else they would ask that you would take her. it if very scary to see your little ones or even anyone go threw what you have seen and seizures. get on the phone with her regular doctor right away and don't take know from anyone.
Avatar f tn I was motivated to post this question because I have just recently completed my Standard First Aid and CPR training. There, we learned about seizures, and I had never really thought about having one until now. My problem is that this happened about eight or nine years ago. I was about nine years old, and I had stayed up late on New Years. I was perfectly fine one minute, but the next, I had blacked out, lost my vision, and felt really, really hot.
Avatar f tn Be aware of the length of the seizure If possible, note the time that the seizure began, and how long it lasts. If it is the child’s first convulsive seizure, or if it lasts more than five minutes, call 911 or emergency services. Pay attention to the nature and the length of the seizure so you can give an accurate report. Step 4: Make your child as comfortable as possible Remove glasses so they do not break.
Avatar f tn We ended up having vaginal sex using Trojan condoms as protection. I had a cut on my finger from yesterday with a band aid. While having sex the band aid came off and broke the scab causing its to bleed. I only noticed after I pulled out and took the condom off. My cut finger came in contact with the used condom that has her vaginal secretion on its.Is this a risk or am I safe ??
Avatar n tn With help I walked to my car and was sitting in the passenger seat before the intense pain hit me. I knew what it was immediately. Sharp, Cutting pain, first day of my menstrual cycle. My color was completely drained by the time we got to the hospital. My temperature had dipped to 92 degrees and I was convulsing trying to keep warm. I teetered in and out of consciousness until, with the aid of heated blankets, my temperature began to rise.
1524811 tn?1333241301 asked for a band aid. My husband was standing beside her while I turned my back to open our first aid kit to get the band aid she had requested. 5 seconds later I turned around to her & saw that her face was extremely pale. She suddenly went limp, eyes rolled back in her head & she fell to the floor. THANK GOD my husband was there & caught her before she hit the ground. She suddenly started seizing!
Avatar f tn You may not even read this comment since it has been 2 years since you posted but I had my first seizure at the age of 52 (late last year) It was diagnosed as a complex partial seizure. I lost conciesness 2 time within a minute. I was unable to speak or see and although I could hear my wife yelling to me, she seemed far away. I came out of it and went into hyperventalation. I was wrung out when it was over. I slept half the time for the next 3 days.
1653487 tn?1303524162 I just recently had my first (that I am aware of) seizure at 35 years of age... My husband witnessed the episode but I have no memory of it happening. This happened in my sleep this past Sunday night (March 27th)... After two days in the hospital and the plethora of tests, the MRI came back normal but the EEG showed abnormalities in the back right lobe of my brain. I was placed on an anti-seizure medication - Keppra 1000mg and told that I can not drive for at least 6 months...
Avatar f tn Our 4 year old Aussie just had a first seizure this morning. I have dealt with seizures before in another dog, but the aftermath of this is very different and hard. The jerking and then the stiffness lasted about 5 minutes or so, but when he started to come out of it and relax, he jumped up and started barking fiercely at us like he didn't know us. We got the other dogs out of the room in case of agitation or attack.
Avatar f tn m super scared because I know they ask for all bank accounts. I have my school financial aid account which I have 0 money on, and then I have my wells Fargo checking account which I do have a big chunk there. Mostly savings, over 2,000. My friend is advising me to just not report that account because they will deny me, even though I'm unemployed. I feel super uncomfortable doing that...What should I do?
Avatar f tn I have been having a seizure like problem. It only happens when I walk or run. I had it once in a while in high school, never got it checked out. But it has gotten worse after the 4th of july 2010. I suffered heat exhaustion was rushed to the ER by ambulance, took me over three weeks to recover from that. But since then my seizure like problems have happened more and more. I haven't the seizure thing since about 9th grade, I have been out of school for over 5years now.
Avatar n tn hi. i have just come back from my duke of Edinburgh gold expedition ( 4 days of hard core walking up mountains!) and i am honestly quite scared. I've been fainting A LOT recently, and getting headaches too. i've had hypoglycemia for a few years now, but i know how to manage it, and know what to do when my hands start shaking - and it's never been worse than fainting and feeling awful.
Avatar f tn t have specifics on doses -- same problem -- still too many rat researchers and not enough clinical guidelines, however this first reference, if your doctor has access to Springer, might help. I've provided other studies that are related, even if only remotely. Incidentally, I'm about to try Lamotrigine myself. Don't know if you've had any experience with this medication. Best wishes... http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25112542 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.
Avatar m tn adam - while I know this is scary for you, try not to get ahead of yourself. I drank regularly and heavily for several years, and now I am facing medical issues likely resulting from it. My point is that you don't want to be where I am. I know you are young and your buddies likely drink a good bit too, but your health really is most important. Yes, heavy drinking damages the liver.
Avatar f tn At how many weeks would be a good time to go to the doctors for the first check up?
Avatar f tn This is my second attempt to post. The first attempt is nowhere to be found. Two weeks after double mastectomy and reconstruction with expanders, I have developed terrible hyper sensitive skin under arms and chest. Clothes are unbearable. The doctors make light of it, saying it "shound go away." When? I was never warned about this. It is debillating. Is this a normal reaction to cut nerves, and how long will it take to subside? Someone recommened Gabapentin.
