Epilepsy is also called ‘ fits’ by lay man. The onset is frequently sudden with patient first emitting a loud cry that is followed by a loss of consciousness. Generalised convulsions, lockjaw, cyanosis, foaming at the mouth (sometimes blood comes out of the mouth if the tongue or lips have been bitten). For a few minutes the patients enters a stuporous sleep.
Upon awakening, the patient has a headache, and experiences a mental fatigue, generalized pain and discomfort and does not remember anything about the epileptic attack.

In chronic cases the attack of fits occurs daily or one that take place every few days, or few weeks or few month. In some cases attack occurs several times during a day after sometime the attack keep on increasing by weeks and months.

Please take note that: Attack vary from patient to patient. Most often they come without warning. The patient fall unconscious, he may cry out and not be aware he has done so.
