This happend today in school. My friend went in to shock and had a seizure. I was the only one who knew what to do :\ schools need to teach what to do in case of a seizure !
Exie Duquette nice job dude u saved his or hers life(:
Exie Duquette This happened today in my school. Unfortunately the boy was playing football and when this happened he failed down and broke his head.. I watched this to know in the future what to do in such situations.. Bruhh
They may have a first aid course they go through yearly. However it's hard to remember that information, especially when it's rarely used, and especially under stress. I wonder if your teacher had been informed that your friend gets seizures? If they had, I would be much more annoyed with them not keeping that information fresh in their minds.
Actually just today exactly same thing happened with me a friend of mine suffered a sizure today
This shouldn’t have ads
Shame on u guys for having ads on these type of videos
This happened a few days ago. A girl in Orchestra had a seizure and we only knew because the girl fell and knocked over a bass. Thank God my teacher knew the protocol. She’s okay now, god bless her.
I think its nice to see videos like this to show people what to do. I had a epileptic fit at my work yesterday morning and whacked my face on some stairs, luckily someone found me quickly as i lost a fair amount of blood
Holy fuck dude.
@rosamoraly4egses69the fcuk is wromf with you
It's seizures not fits dumbass
My cousin had a seizure like this, but we don't know if she's epileptic or not. I was alone with her when it happened. It was one of the most terrifying things I've ever witnessed. Luckily I've had First Aid training so I could help her out while waiting for help. She's okay now, thankfully. And hopefully we'll find out what really happened, if it was an epileptic seizure or not.
Thanks for this video. I have a history of seizures, and now I can show my husband what to do when I have a seizure. :)
They should show this at schools.
Lol no. Finding the value of "x" is more important than learning how to potentially save lives. Don't ya know?
+Memphis Spotter hahaha true
Memphis Spotter thats a good point, value x is more important than a life.
I just made a friend who has Epilepsy. This was very educating.
Great video! Only thing i missed is that you shouldn't put anything in their mouths. Some people still have the idea that it will protect their tongue or teeth, but putting anyting in the mouth causes a greater hazard than the seizure itself
MissRubberDukkie Well said friend.
Rip Cameron 1999-2019 💛😩
I wish who ever was with him knew this... who knows maybe he would have survived 😭💔... Cam gives lessons with everything he does so I think what we should learn from the cause of his death is to be prepared for anything... thanks for the lesson Cam... RIP😭💔
Only if the parents new they could have saved his life 😭😭

Well I have fucking seizures. It's nobody's fault it just happens and I'm in the Hospital right fucking now
FloTV I hope you get better
These kinds of videos are great to have here on UA-cam. :)
I used to work with a girl who has epilepsy (I didn't know at the time.), and one day she suddenly fell over right in front of me, and all I could really think to do was to catch her, so she wouldn't slam in to anything. It's a scary ass situation, when you have no idea what's going on. For all I knew she could be dying, but thankfully another person knew about her epilepsy, so no ambulance was called or anything.
It happened in school today. My teacher was teaching us when she suddenly felt unwell and started seizing. It was terrifying!! One of my friends caught her and we rushed to call the medical staff of the school. Many of us hadn't seen anything as such till today so ppl were scared stiff
People need to understand epilepsy and know how to help
This is really good and accurate, with the exception of "zed" waking up after the seizure. I have seen footage of myself having a seizure and coming round from the fit follows a lot of shock. Others i have seen, people are in so much shock they may wake up and begin screaming, or similar. Other than that this is great!
First seizure I had, I woke up petrified. I thought there was a group of people outside my apartment that wanted to beat me up. My husband took me to the hospital cuz I got a concussion and I FREAKED out cuz I thought the imaginary mob was gonna kill us. The last seizure I had, it took me 2 hours to come back to normal. I guess I had the mind set of a child. This shit is fuckin scary.
RIP CAMERON 1999-2019😭😭😭😭
Thank you for your valuable and useful information. I'm working as a security officer and I need that information in my job. Thanks again 🙏
My friend had this. Unfortunately, she died from a condition called SUDEP. Sucks, but at least I know she's not suffering anymore.
really sorry to hear this

Thanks ☺
She's in a better place
Laura Wilson yeah :) stay strong :)

Thanks, I'll try :)
Laura Rodriguez keep smiling ☺️
This happened to me when I was in grade 10 in the middle of my classroom. It was so embarrassing
why don't they teach this shit in high school
I agree, First Aid should be taught in schools!
It should be taught in Jr. High in my opinion and then also be available later in high school.
Epilepsy Hackney
Well there's classes on stuff like that, but they don't teach first aid, which sucks.
totally agree
Awestruck dunno
Thank-you for posting this vid. I have just been diagnosed with Epilepsy and this vid will help my ten year old in knowing what to do and to reassure her
Thanks for this video, I fell in love with this girl and she told me she has a condition. I'm seeing this video for her and I promised her I'll never leave her alone just because of this petty thing.
my mom had a seizure last week friday, it was the 1st time I've seen it, but i knew she started getting them. this was the 4th one she had and the worst we took her to the hospital for cat scans and mri scans (good news shes okay) but her seizure went on for quite some time 30 - 45min. after getting the physical seizure where her eyes rolled back and muscle spasms, she started acting very strange, almost child-like. not knowing anyone around her but knows familiar faces,she came back after 15min
A friend of mine had a seizure yesterday, and we all got so scared and shocked. Thanks for making this vid
My sister just had a seizure. Thanks for the help.
My partner has epilepsy thankfully he’s on medication to control it so hardly ever has seizures. In nearly 2 years of living near him he’s only had one mild seizure which was during a gym class we were both in. He felt it coming on so went out of the class I assumed he’d gone toilet so stayed in the class. After about half hour someone called me out of the class to tell me he’d had a mild seizure. He was ok just bit shook up so I took him home and stayed with him a bit. Thankfully it seems it was a one off seizure as it hasn’t happened since, it put my mind at rest a bit tho now I know more what to expect if I see him have seizure ever.

THis happen to my familiy, i got my brothher who is a high school student diagnosied as an autisim. Later he is having a seizure while he was sleeping before the morning rise, it happens two or more times.
We recently found out my sister has epilepsy and i do my bit to help by driving her around and taking her to hospital (when needed) and this video helped alot thanks :)
R.i.p Cameron Boyce ❤️❤️I love u 1999-2019 too young 😭😭😭
thank you!! I'm about to hang out with a friend with epilepsy and this helped a lot with basic care :3 i thought they were life threatening so im glad i know theyre not like that anymore
we were taught to check for breathing first, before turning a person onto their side (bc if they stop breathing - although it's unlikely - you'd need to move onto cpr), but otherwise an excellent video!
I had a seizure and my grandma didn't know what to do thank you for showing her how to do it
... to call an ambulance:
- If they don't wake up after several minutes
- If they're not breathing
- If it's a stranger and you don't know if seizures are normal for them
- If they injure themselves
- If it's their first seizure
So: better always call an ambulance to be sure.
If they are having violent convulsions don't try to restrain or turn on side until they slow down and it is safe for the first aider to do so. This was not violent convulsions so he could have been turned on his side to allow for drainage and to keep the airway open.
Carol Merten Oh so you’d rather leave us on our back to choke on saliva. Since my comment about waiting til the seizure is over I’ve been told you should put us in the recovery position during the seizure.
@danielledewitt1 I am with the epilepsy foundation. If it's a tonic clonic or grand mal convulsion, as the seizure is slowing down u turn on the side. If u are not safe, u can't help anything. Ideally can catch the person as they're falling and lower them to their side if possible
In Turkey it's also 112. But also if you dial 911 it redirects to it too. Cuz for at least 20-30 years we have been hardly in influence of Usa with holywood movies so even I dialed 911 with panic on my wife's first seisure. Thank god they have redirected it.
You need to check to see if they are breathing for no more then 10 seconds and check for a pulse. If they aren't breathing, they may have gone into cardiac arrest (their heart stops beating.) In this case you need to CALL for medical assistance and give CPR until you see signs of breathing/life, until your tired or the medics arrive. Once they start breathing but are unconcious, keep their airway open.
My little cousin (second cousin) died from this condition called SUDEP for 10 months ago. His mother who was my cousin also passed away three months ago...It's though, but at least they aren't suffering anymore from this illness.
Very helpful to know in case of emergency.
Luckily the man had a jumper round his waist
I was diagnosed epileptic a while ago, and my MRI was clean because I didn't have any tumours, but on the EEG I had abnormal waves. That test is the one where they conect stuff to your head, put some flashing lights in front you and ask you to breath fast. You should really go to the doctor again, whether or not you have epilepsy, it's better to get all the tests possible, and if you were misdiagnosed you should follow the instrucitons to quitting the medicine.
Tysm today on the my bus a girl had a seizure and everyone started panicking not knowing what to do till the ambulance arrived including the driver and now I feel better that I do
So sad Cameron boyce dies 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@Rasheda Newman what does smh mean??

When you have a seizure it looks like your being tazed
In highschool in my softmore and Jr year I suffered from seizures and black outs a lot. Now I am seizure free and this was 30 plus years ago
This was uploaded on my 2nd birthday!
This just happened to my brother. I’ve never been so scared
I recently met some who has had epileptic seizures recently and i think one important pice of info to add is that after they are done the person heaving the seizure will most likely become confused and at times violent
SHOULD be taught in school, to students and teachers! My daughter use to have an aura that would last about 2 minutes. enough time to get to the teacher and let them know..after I talked to all of her teachers about this.one sent her out in the hall BY HERSELF to see the nurse. She found another student there to get the nurse and laid on her side and had a seizure in the hall alone. She said when she woke up a teacher she didn't know asked her what the hell was she doing laying in the floor
I haven't had that test. I think i'll go back to the doctors and ask for it even though the medication i'm on is helping... Thank you. (:
My favorite video to show my friends
she called an ambulance service for me💜💜💜💜💜💜
I'm not sure if this is worth noting or if I'm wrong, but after you tilt the person's head back, open their mouth and make sure they did not vomit. If there is vomit, remove it to prevent them from choking.
My family say that when I was really young I used to have this, but I don't remember having them at all :\
Ok but the fact this actually has ads on it
Still, really helpful video
UA-cam decided to put ads before this video, potentially endangering the lives of many people. I should be appalled, but I’m honestly not surprised.
I have this kind of disease. Epilepsy . Since i was a child, i already felt it. But it only attack when i already giving birth with my first son. So sad. But still i'm strong coz God gave me this for such reason. :)
+Mellit Amorganda What do you think the reason is why God would give this to someone?
Helpful home remedy. Put a pinch of salt in the mouth. It works. My brother is 46 and he's been getting grandmal seizures since 8. Don't know why it works. Nothing to do with the taste but something to do with how the iodine responds with brain waves. Electrical current or something. Also, NEVER put an object in an epileptic's mouth to prevent them from biting or swallowing their tongue. My dad put a spoon in my brother's mouth once and he bit a dent in it. It can break their teeth and cause not only damage that way but then it becomes a choke hazard too with loose teeth in their mouth. They cannot "swallow" their tongue but it can obstruct the airway, so chin up and recovery position afterwards.
@@opalescentmica I would only advise that hopefully the rubber is not too soft that a piece can be bitten off and become a choking hazard. I actually would recommend something like a rolled up face cloth that will protrude either side of your mouth. Hopefully that would help with your tongue too. Try the salt as soon as the attack begins. Just a pinch. I don't know what meds you're on but my brother takes 2 x 500g Epilym per and 6 x degranol. And as soon as he regains consciousness, a Valium. If you or your husband does not get hurt in the process, then putting you on your side is considered the recovery position. Good luck. Hope it gets better over time. I'm lucky (touch wood), the last attack I had was Feb 2023.
When I went to henshaws in yorkshire a friend had a tonic clonic seizure. As I have epilepsy I knew what to do as I have tonic clonic seizure too so my first job was to move things out of his way so he didn't hurt himself more then I said you'll be ok your having one of your seizures then get a member of staff. Then I went back to sit with him til staff came and reassured him even though he couldn't hear.
this is incomplete..if the seizure goes on for five minutes or more this requires an ambulance.... do not panic if this is a patient you know you may know the cause if not... you may want some advice by ringing 101...the diagnosis of localized or body seizure is a difficult one so get a second opinion ...privacy is essential
If it’s the person's first seizure, do you have to call an ambulanc?
@@alexeerising2458 Sorry I'm late to replying, but yes.
This happened yesterday at my school I've never witnessed this before and I was very scared and worried for them we called 911 because we didn't know what else to do so this video helped a lot they are ok now but I watched this just in case it happens again
@@opalescentmica ok thank you so much!
i don't know why but this video takes my tears
Is there some cases where when they're having a seizure, you put them on their side and not after?
This happened at school three times to my friend I was so scared but I knew what to do he looked also real scary
Years ago stupid people use to tell us to do stupid things like putting things in their mouth when this happens, yeah great way to choke somebody. Putting things in the mouth is dangerous.
Danielle Dewitt ikr, that’s a very bad idea, they used to say in the old days that a person can swallow their tongue when they have a seizure but you don’t swallow your tongue
Ryan Leiby We can bite our tongue but not swallow it. My epilepsy cut my headonce, it also once fractured my neck at the top of my vertabrae.
You should get and EEG, as far as I know MRI's are done to dismiss the possibility of a tumor.
When you roll the person on to their side should it be in the recovery position or does it not matter?
I was going to ask the same question.
My dad told me that it is a special position. Roll on side and tilt head back. My father is not a doctor so I'm not sure...
Yes I suppose so. I would assume as long as the person is on their side and not able to choke on their own vomit or anything like that they would be fine regardless of whether its in recovery position or not
I am also not sure. I HAVE learned about the recovery position in school but not about epilepsy. I have no idea.
+Bobby Hayday
Yes I think you are right
oops i moved my brother on the side while he was having his seizure, didnt know you were supposed to do it when it was over
+Edin Jadadic I'm so so confused about this. I've been having seizures & I'm not sure what to tell my family/friends :L I hope you & you're brother are okay :)
ツEdin Turns out it’s better to put them in the recovery position during the seizure so they don’t choke on their saliva.
Diane Berg Wrong you should put them in the recovery position regardless. Even when the person is having the seizure.
Diane Berg How dare you say I’m wrong. I know because I have epilepsy and these exact seizures tonic clonic seizures are what I have. You can’t be a very good nurse if you think you should leave us on our backs or front.
Diane Berg I’ve fractured my vertabrae during a seizure before anybody could get to me, this year in may I cut my head during one. Had to be glued back together. So you’d rather we choked on our saliva would you?
REALLY IMPORTANT!!! While not dangerous, seizures are really hard on the body. Waking up from one is not a pleasant experience, and, as illustrated, most go back to sleep seconds after they wake. This is your cue to fuck off and get some mild painkillers and a cold fizzy drink for the second ''awakening''. To a wakening epileptic this may aswell be filet mignon.
Kristian Brandt No no fizzy drinks. Water will do. In fact water is a better idea.
Excellent information. Good tips to remember.
Honestly after making sure they were safe the first thing I would do is call for emergency services, there are just so many variables that could lead someone having a seizure to be seriously ill. I wouldn't risk it.
360 p Don’t have to call 999 every time, only if the person is injured, it’s their first seizure or they go into more seizures without recovering or it lasts longer than 5 minutes.
It was great what you did
First thing to do in a situation like this is make sure the daffodils are ok and safely out of harms way,
dont feed food, move away from danger, call ambulance as soon as possible
The only thing that he did wrong was the way he did the recovery position. Usually it's best to turn the casualty away from you in case something was to happen like if he needed to clear the airway, but everything else was fine.
I saw this video and cried.. I’ve been having seizures for two months now (I have a history of myoclonic jerk since 2014) and I went to three neurologists and all of them don’t want to diagnose me with epilepsy because “it’s too late to come at this age”, I’m 21 year old by the way. My MRI is normal; however, my EEG has some abnormalities (intermittent slow activity in the temproprietal region of both sides). I study medicine and I know very well that I’m having a seizure but the doctors are not taking my case seriously.
My head drop then goes up and down in rapid painful way and my myoclonic jerk comes at the end.. I don’t lose my consciousness, and before the episode my eyes start doing the “zoom in zoom out thing”.
Do you lose your consciousness during the seizure?
Jumana S They lied to you. It can still be diagnosed.
Jumana S Oh and depends on the seizure type. I do.
"I do" is it fo the question about consciousness? sometimes I feel like I can prevent it or control it before it comes in a few minutes.. many times I do manage it.. but others I just can't.. it become irreversible.. and this makes ask another question, I'm really having a seizure? @@danielledewitt1
Jumana S Sounds like it to me. Mine are tonic clonic seizures, the one on sunday night I had no warning. We are trying a certain oil next, nothing else has worked and we are limited due to drug induced lupus.
I saw a guy have a seizure today- it kids scared me, it was the first time I've seen one.
You should have an EEG done, that way they can tell where the seizure originates from and how best to treat it. My daughter has Epilepsy.....once in a while when her meds need adjusted, she'll have a breakthrough seizure...they've been everything from just a small face tic and she can't talk to Grand Mal....most of the time she has an aura and knows it's coming. When we did the EEG they told us that she has spikes everywhere, but the meds usually control it. If you can get a 24 hour EEG.
HOLY CRAP THAT'S THE DUDE FROM HOUSE OF ANUBIS
+James Diamond INDIAN, not Mexican...
Mel Shadow omg yeah it is. and i saw him in some BBC thing called L8r Youngers as a science teacher
very good movie video for first aid training.
I have a history of seizures the doctor diagnose me with epilepsy seizures when i went to the doctor when I was nine years old i had my first seizure.
I was trained not to touch them UNTIL its over because if you do, you can harm them or yourself. You only roll them over IF you notice them salivating. But even in that case, I would tilt their head to one side so the saliva drips out of their mouth. Otherwise wait until the seizure is done to turn them over into the recovery position.
cutielover23 If you don’t put us in recovery posision during the seizure then we could choke on our saliva.
uhh? you’re not suppose to lay them on their back after? like while the seizure is happening you put them on their side (left preferably) and stay calm and make sure to time it and afterwards get the person cold water and talk to them and make sure they are all the way there.
This happened to me today at school
Checking that they're breathing is well and good, but what if you find they're not? Mouth to mouth?
Awesome to share, but perhaps the Red Cross may add looking for injuries, especially cranial from an unseen collapse? This epileptic fell from stairs to a concrete pavement. Checking for speech/cognitive awareness also might be considered. Some seizures
occur from brain tumors, previous illness, etc. All seizures can't be generalized into one.
My daughter has slight seizure seens she was lil, but this weekend was not slight one , she fall really hard and hit her eye on the speaker and flop like a fish she has never done that before, what kind is that?
I found out that my brother had it so this really helped
yes....every country has a different emergency dial no. like here in the philippines,its 117
It is a very good video in my opinion. i've seen a few now but non really stage it just use a random dummy. I think this would make it more realistic and easier to get then when shown with a dummy.But i think most people would panic and have no idea what to do even if they knew anything about it. I had my first seizure at school a few weeks back. I don't have epilepty it is something they don't know much of. But according to the teacher my friends simply freaked out. I don't blame them i get it.
Nice one guys.
I had an MRI scan done and that came back as okay. Nobody mentioned anything to me about an EEG. They just said i'm epileptic and gave me medication. It's like they couldn't get rid of me fast enough the way they did it. Nobody came over and explained to me what kind of seizures I have or anything. I've had to try and work it out for myself with the help of my boyfriend. I have different types of seizures. But i've bascially been left to get on with it myself. :(
What would happen if you were to restrain them? Just wondering.
Donkey Kong You can hurt them.
When the guy started to move his plants, I thought he was going to prevent them from breaking them :)
This might take a while for me to practice. It’s not easy having to deal with a girlfriend who has epilepsy.
noone:
but me: "Ahhh call an ambulance call an ambulance but not for me"
Do they legit just faint then shiver?
Keep Smiling . Convulsive ones do. Others like absence seizure don't
Keep Smiling Yes and the word you are looking for is go into convulsions.
What if it’s 40° in Australia and you don’t have a jumper?
Greetings, I have epilepsy you should have an MRI done. I'm sure that worried, being told you have epilepsy is not easy. I would advise you to learn the side effects of any medication your given, medications don't work for everyone the same. I wish you nothing but the best, try not to stress to much, stress can causes seizures..
salsal x An eeg is better.
I have always been told to turn the person on to their left side of the body, is that a true requirement?
David M Doesn’t matter which side.
