Always find it baffling far more people know what to do with a suspected heart attack but not when I have a seizure in public, considering the latter’s more common (I’m fine).

Quite often, people having seizures might appear blackout drunk or tipsy. But you should help people regardless of need and can perform welfare checks quickly.https://twitter.com/dawnhfoster/status/1066695540929368065?s=21 …

And remember that it may take as long as an hour after the seizure before they’re fully functioning. They may be extremely tired and disoriented

I was also told that a classic feint resembles a seizure, and that when someone is in a feint you should let them (safely) lie horizontally as the body is trying to get oxygen to the brain. I've seen people sit someone up while in that condition.

I suppose all of this is why proper first aid should be universally taught.

I know someone who had a seizure, and her friends thought she was goofing around. so they pushed her down the stairs (around age 10). so another tip, don’t push your seizing friend down the stairs

DON'T - film it and post it on YouTube

there are different types of seizure
“thrashing” tonic-clonic seizure. They fall to the floor unconscious, jerking limbs, might bite their tongue:
DO
- cushion their head
- move objects away
- put them in recovery position
DON’T
- put anything in their mouth
Focal/partial seizure - they seem out of it, in a very deep daydream, often with repetitive movements, such as opening/closing mouth, making noises (I blink a lot)
DO
- guide them away from danger
- stay with them til they come to
- talk calmly with them until they respond
