Are Responsiveness And Unlocking One's Phone Possible Post Seizure Attack?
Question: Could someone that has had a seizure be even the slighest bit responsive following the episode. For example could they recognize their name by looking up when called or even unlock their phone?
Brief Answer:
Confusion after a seizure
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I believe I understand what you are asking and thank you for choosing this platform for your question.
Usually, a seizure, which involves loss of consciousness, is followed by a period of confusion and drowsiness. The person may appear disoriented, nauseous and usually with little realization that they had just had a seizure. This may last anywhere from 5 to 30 or more minutes, depending on the extent of the seizure.
It is very unlikely for a person that has suffers a seizure to look up or figure out a phone passcode.
I hope this answers your question. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Kibd regards
