Epilepsy Week: Raise Awareness and Recognise the Symptoms 📢
This Epilepsy Week, let's come together to raise awareness and support those living with epilepsy. Understanding the symptoms is crucial for timely diagnosis and management. Be aware of the following signs:
🔹 Uncontrollable jerking and shaking, called a "fit"
🔹 Losing awareness and staring blankly into space
🔹 Becoming stiff
🔹 Strange sensations, such as a "rising" feeling in the tummy, unusual smells or tastes, and a tingling feeling in your arms or legs
🔹 Collapsing
Knowledge is power. By recognising these symptoms, we can offer better support to those affected and help them lead healthier lives. Learn more: nhs.uk/conditions/epilepsy/
