Safety and Epilepsy: An information book about safety in epilepsy.

There is an increased risk of injury in people with epilepsy.

Seizures can present as a sudden fall, blank stare, confusion, uncontrolled movements, diminished awareness, odd sensations, a convulsion, or laboured breathing.

For some people with epilepsy, their seizures pose a minimal risk of injury. For others, their seizures may require extra precaution to avoid injury. For example, seizures that occur without warning, involve falls, loss of awareness, or confusion after the seizure could result in injury. Precautions may be necessary depending on the activity.

Assessing the risks associated with the type and frequency of the seizures may require implementing safety procedures.
