Patients with epilepsy often experience warning signs before a seizure occurs.
Many patients may suddenly stop moving, experience a sudden loss of consciousness, or faint.
Some patients may also experience abnormal sensations, such as numbness in certain areas, or visual disturbances like flashes of light, dark spots, or distorted vision.
A portion of patients may also experience motor difficulties, feeling weak or fatigued in their limbs, which may be followed by a seizure, convulsions, or loss of consciousness.
Once these warning signs appear, it is crucial to take immediate action. Patients can take medication or lie down in a safe environment to minimize risks.
