  1. Epilepsy Research Breakthroughs: Hope for the Future An abrupt, uncontrolled electrical disruption in the brain is referred to as a seizure. Your actions, emotions, feelings, and levels of consciousness may all change as a result. There are numerous types of seizures and numerous potential causes, including: • Epilepsy • Infected brains • Low blood glucose

  2. What are adult-onset seizures? While some seizures begin in childhood, some don't until later in life. Seizures that start in adulthood are these. It’s possible for an adult without a history of epilepsy to experience a seizure, based on the above-mentioned conditions and causes. The types of seizures experienced depend on the cause. So consult a neurologist for epilepsy (Seizures) treatment in Indore. Causes of seizures in adults Adult-onset seizures frequently have a specific disease or traumatic experience as a potential cause. Possible reasons for seizures in adults include: Brain Tumor In many cases, adult-onset seizures are the first indication of a brain tumor. If the convulsions worsen, the tumor has expanded and needs to be removed. Seizures are typically brought on by various tumor types in a variety of ways, most commonly by pressure or bleeding in the brain.

  3. Traumatic Brain Injury TBI, often known as traumatic brain damage, is another potential reason for an adult's first seizure. A TBI may be followed immediately by a seizure. Central Nervous System Infection Bacteria, parasites, or viruses are the main causes of central nervous system infection (CNS). These pathogens have the ability to infect the brain tissues. This may result in an inflammatory reaction, which may modify the electrical activity of the brain abnormally and cause an adult seizure. Substance Use and Withdrawal The first seizure in an adult may be caused by the use of certain drugs or by quitting them. Certain drugs can cause seizures by changing the function of neurotransmitters. In other situations, a medicine may alter the blood flow or electrolytes in the brain, causing a seizure.

  4. Alcohol Withdrawal and Toxicity When you consume a significant amount of alcohol in a short period of time, you risk alcohol poisoning or overdose. Your fluid and electrolyte levels may change as a result, which could lead to seizures. A first seizure may also be brought on by alcohol withdrawal. Stroke If you've experienced a hemorrhagic stroke, you're more prone to get seizures (bleed on the brain). A severe stroke or a stroke in the cerebral cortex, the vast outer layer of the brain where critical processes like movement, thought, vision, and emotion take place, can also increase your risk of seizures. If you have a seizure for the first time, get medical attention and consult a neurologist in Indore immediately.
