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).
I had a drunk guy who claimed he “knew first aid” fish my meds out of my bag and try and force them down my throat mid-seizure. Nearly killed me.

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
