A person will lose consciousness during a tonic or atonic seizure. During a tonic seizure, muscles suddenly stiffen and are given a signal to contract. During an atonic seizure, the muscles suddenly lose tone resulting in the body going limp.

I have epilepsy and had a seizure yesterday. A real one, not like the videos you see on Twitter. My neighbor found me and I am grateful she knew what to do. 💜💜

When a person has a seizure, once it is safe to do so, you should place them comfortably on their side in the recovery position. Doing this allows their airway to remain open and allows any fluids to flow out of their mouth. Awareness

Please do not restrain a person having a non-convulsive seizure. Instead, you should gently guide them away from hazards and once they are in a safe environment, allow them to move freely without restraining them Awareness
