One of the biggest myths about seizure prevention is placing the key in hand when a person is having an attack. As much as people believe it is helpful, it may lead to severe complications. Thus, Dr Sandeep Nayani explains at 00:07 that a guide to handling seizures differs from your practices.
Generally, a seizure is a sudden disturbance in the brain’s electrical impulses. However, it is not a problem because attacks result from other neurological issues. Whether it is lack of sleep or a person’s genetic composition, seizure prevention strategies vary from one individual to another.
The seizure attacks last for 1-2 minutes only and then subside (0:41). However, the electrical disturbances can be severe and trigger uncontrollable activity in the affected areas of the brain. As a result, it could lead to symptoms like passing out, abnormal sensations, and strange muscle movements.
Dr Sandeep Nayani gives a detailed guide to handle seizures, including turning the individual to one side and removing all the sharp or hard objects in their vicinity. This is because they might get hurt by the things while having seizure attacks.

In addition, if the person has suffered from seizures for the first time, it is essential to take them to a doctor for consultation.
2. When should one visit a doctor for seizure prevention?
If an individual suffers from a seizure frequently and gets multiple attacks within 12 hours, it is a sign to see a neurologist immediately.

Can medications help in seizure prevention?
While there are medications to help patients with seizure attacks, they may not cure the underlying problem completely. These medications can either reduce the frequency or work on seizures alone. Therefore, it is necessary to go for scans and discover the deep-seated neurological problem to cure it completely. Additionally, episodes arising from genetic inheritance are difficult to cure and can only be managed to some extent.
5. What are seizure prevention strategies?
In most cases, seizures arise due to stress or nervous breakdown. Thus, an individual needs to rest properly and get adequate sleep (1:41) to prevent neural signals from going haywire. Additionally, if the problem is genetic and has been diagnosed appropriately, personnel must adhere to the treatment plan without skipping any medications (1:17). There are chances of having seizure attacks when an individual misses their medication or deviates from the treatment plan.
