Seizures are bursts of electrical activity in the brain that temporarily affect how it works. They can cause a wide range of symptoms. Epilepsy can start at any age but usually starts either in childhood or in people over 60. It's often lifelong but can sometimes get slowly better over time. Seizures can affect people in different ways, depending on which part of the brain is involved. Possible symptoms include: uncontrollable jerking and shaking called a "fit" losing awareness and staring blankly into space becoming stiff strange sensations, such as a "rising" feeling in the tummy, unusual smells or tastes, and a tingling feeling in your arms or legs collapsing Sometimes you might pass out and not remember what happened. See a GP if you think you might have had a seizure for the first time. This does not mean you have epilepsy, as a seizure can have several causes, and sometimes they're just a one-off, but you should see a doctor to find out why it happened. Call the Emergency numbers of your respective country for an ambulance if someone: is having a seizure for the first time has a seizure that lasts more than 5 minutes has lots of seizures in a row has breathing problems or has seriously injured themselves
