Can epilepsy cause death? |
but not like the patient hits his head in somethin sharp while in a seizure...full answers please.........thank you Yes it can my friend died at 38 from a Grand Mal seizure, she had epilepsy her whole life and was on daily medication. Take care Source(s): http://www.healthandage.com/html/well_co... Yes, and also severe brain damage. Yes, it can. A siezure that will not stop may cause brain damage and even death. It can cause death, I knew someone that went to high school with me who died a few years ago as a result, and I'm only 28. Medline is a great tool for searching for anything health/medical related. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/... depends on what kind of seizure grand maul [sp] could possibly because a] it can cause MASSIVE brain damage and b] most times you vomit while seizing so if someone doesn't tilt your head to the side you can drown with minor maul seizures though i don't think you can die [minor maul: you space of and cant respond] [grand maul: uncontrollable shaking vomiting] There is a type of seizure that does not stop and a term for it that may cause death...It is rare..in 15 years as a Paramedic...I never saw it..and I have a wife that is an epileptic...the normal seizures when complete people think the person is dying as there is a few moments when they don't breath...NORMALLY this is NORMAL..the brain(for lack of a better analogy) is rebooting and things will return to normal It is only when the seizure lasts a very long time...it may seem like a long time but I am talking a quite a few rather than the normal 1 min or so...that they can become life threatening.. Good Luck... |
