Most Common Types of Seizures
History of seizures is very old and every patient who suffers from epilepsy also suffers from different types of seizures. Most of the time people go through either partial seizures or generalized seizures. In generalized seizures, level of electrical activity in brain is increased and this increased electrical activity is uniform throughout the brain while in partial seizures, only one part of the brain is disturbed while the other brain remains intact. The most sever of all types of seizures is grand mall or generalized seizures. In this type, patient goes through sever epilepsy attacks and he loses consciousness during these attacks. During attack of generalized seizure, patient will fell on the ground and will experience extreme types of jerks throughout the body and these jerks can last for more than 2 minutes. In partial types of seizures, these kinds of attacks do not happen and patient does not lose consciousness.
