Definition: Convulsive shock or convulsions, also known as seizures (also called epilepsy), is a medical condition characterized by sudden uncontrollable electrical impulses to the brain that can lead to severe brain injury. Symptoms include rapid shaking and tremors, which may be accompanied by light sensitivity, loss of awareness, confusion, and even unconsciousness. The term "convulsionary" refers to the characteristic rapid onset of these symptoms. The exact definition varies depending on the context in which it is used, but generally speaking, a convulsive episode typically lasts less than 5 minutes and usually involves only one or two episodes per day. Seizures are typically preceded by a brief period of intense muscle tension called an "epileptoclastic seizure," which may last for a few seconds. Seizures can be caused by a variety of factors, including infections such as meningitis or shingles, medical conditions such as epilepsy, and certain medications like anticonvulsants. They are often accompanied by other symptoms such as seizures at rest, fatigue, nausea, dizziness, and rapid heartbeat. If you or someone else experience a sudden onset of convulsive episodes, it's important to seek medical attention immediately. Treatment may include medication (e.g., anticonvulsants) and supportive measures to help manage the symptoms. If left untreated, seizures can lead to serious complications such as loss of consciousness, brain damage, and permanent disability.
