Generalized Seizure treatment in Heroica Ciudad de Juchitán de Zaragoza

If a person has a seizure with loss of consciousness and involuntary movements of the whole body, it is time to have a professional assess what is happening. A generalized seizure is an episode in which abnormal electrical activity affects both hemispheres of the brain at the same time.

How it presents: It may include stiffness, rhythmic jerking of the arms and legs, loss of consciousness, and confusion afterward.

Common causes: It is associated with epilepsy, but it can also arise from high fever, metabolic disturbances, or other conditions of the nervous system.

Which specialist treats it? Its evaluation falls to the neurologist and, in minors, to the pediatric neurologist, who assess the origin of the episode. After an episode like this, the prudent course is to schedule an evaluation to understand its cause.
