Epilepsy may be preceded by a warning sign known as an aura, which can include sensations in the stomach or emotions such as fear or d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu. Others may experience visual disturbances, dizziness, and\/or palpitations. It's estimated that 1.1% of the entire Mexican population has epilepsy. Having a single seizure doesn't necessarily mean you have epilepsy; everyone can experience a seizure at some point in their life, and it doesn't always require medication. Epilepsy is diagnosed when there are at least two unprovoked seizures occurring more than 24 hours apart.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__card-arrow\"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"timeline-item__point\"><\/div><div class=\"timeline-item__meta\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"jet-timeline-item jet-timeline-item--animated elementor-repeater-item-2cdabb7 jet-timeline-item--image-inside\">\n\t<div class=\"timeline-item__card\">\n\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__card-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__card-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__meta\"><\/div><h5 class=\"timeline-item__card-title\">What to Do During a First Seizure?<\/h5><div class=\"timeline-item__card-desc\">The most important thing is to stay calm. If possible, record the seizure \u2013 it's very important for us. Place the person in a safe position by laying them on their side and do not put anything in their mouth. Call emergency services. It's crucial to investigate if there's any triggering cause for the seizure. In all patients, brain imaging should be performed, ideally with a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and an electroencephalogram (EEG). <br>\n\nAt Hospital Galenia, we are a highly specialized medical team with established protocols and the highest quality MRI in the entire Mexican Caribbean. We are the only center with Neurophysiology services. A Neurophysiology specialist is a Neurologist who, after completing 3 years of neurology residency, undergoes an additional 2-year training to conduct studies measuring brain electrical activity, such as EEG.<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__card-arrow\"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"timeline-item__point\"><\/div><div class=\"timeline-item__meta\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"jet-timeline-item jet-timeline-item--animated elementor-repeater-item-df73075 jet-timeline-item--image-inside\">\n\t<div class=\"timeline-item__card\">\n\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__card-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__card-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"timeline-item__meta\"><\/div><h5 class=\"timeline-item__card-title\">Causes of Epilepsy<\/h5><div class=\"timeline-item__card-desc\">The approach to seizures should extend beyond their control; we must also search for their underlying causes.
