convulsion
1 answer
Convulsions are sudden, uncontrollable movements or muscle contractions that occur due to abnormal brain activity. They can cause the body to shake or jerk rapidly and can be accompanied by loss of consciousness, loss of bladder or bowel control, and tongue biting. Convulsions can be a symptom of various medical conditions, such as epilepsy, febrile seizures, brain tumors, or drug overdose. Immediate medical attention is usually necessary during a convulsion episode to ensure the safety and well-being of the individual experiencing it.
