Austin Seizures Attorney
A seizure is a change in behavior due to a disturbance in electrical activity in the brain. Seizures occurring as a result of traumatic brain injuries are most common in young adults, but may be experienced by individuals of any age. Such seizures may occur up to two years following brain injury.

Seizure Symptoms
Seizures may last from a few minutes up to 15 minutes or longer. Symptoms present during a seizure may include:
- Loss of muscle control
- Convulsion
- Change in vision
- Hallucinations
- Change in consciousness
Treatment and Diagnosis of Seizures
Treatment of seizures generally involves minimizing the risk of complicating injuries. There is a possibility of choking due to food or vomit entering the lungs. Fortunately, most seizures do not last very long and will stop on their own. However, patients who experience seizures lasting more than 15 minutes or who experience frequent seizures will need to be monitored closely by medical professionals. Depending on the underlying cause of seizure, medication may be available to help stop the attack.
In order to positively diagnose a seizure, doctors will likely perform multiple tests including CT or MRI imaging scans, an EEG brain wave test, and comprehensive blood testing. According to physicians, conditions leading to an increased risk of seizure include sleep deprivation, stress, and malnutrition.
