Causes Of Seizures Commonly Experienced
abnormalities and stroke are some of the causes of brain seizure. Cause of seizure in Children and Adult depends on the age group
Short term metabolic abnormality or high grade fever may be the cause for seizure in the age group below two. The metabolic abnormality means irregular blood levels of sugar, calcium or sodium. The seizure disorder depends on the abnormality. Usually the brain seizure won't happen during the resolution of the fever or the abnormality. If it happens then injury at birth, genetic abnormality in metabolism, other birth defects or a brain anomaly may be the source of the effect. If it happens between the age of 2 to 14, in most cases the cause is unknown.
these age group the cause of seizure in adults is almost unknown. Such seizures with unknown cause are labeled as idiopathic.
In most cases, diseases are the common causes of seizures. The diseases may consist dementia, liver disease, nervous disorder, hereditary related diseases, failure of kidney and brain infection. The injury that causes seizure may occur due to many things like accidents, airway obstruction due to accident, accidents occur while playing sports, injury during birth, insect stings or animal bites.
Other important conditions that may result in brain seizure symptoms are brain surgery, use of drugs like cocaine and chemical poisoning. Even abrupt withdrawal of some medicines may result in seizure.
There are two types of Seizures. They are usually classified into two categories as provoked and unprovoked ones. Causes of epilepsy seizures and related disorders fall under unprovoked category. Provoked seizures are called non epileptic and one best example of this category is the resulted seizures due to lack of oxygen in the brain. Sleep deprivation and head injury which may cause post-traumatic epilepsy in which seizures chronically recur are classified as provoked.
Some treatments like electroconvulsive therapy OR ECT used to treat depression may result in seizure. Getting sudden shock may also result in seizure. The best example is unexpectedly witnessing a horrible accident or a more disturbed event.
Those with previous disorders should be very careful as they have a greater chance of having one when they experience excess physical or emotional stress. Don't ignore anything if you have the slightest doubt of experiencing a seizure disorder. Immediately consult your doctor if you notice any abnormality in the movement of your body parts and take thorough medical checkup to look for any seizure symptoms.
