Loss of Muscle Strength
In some people with a high risk of atonic seizures, a common warning sign can be the sudden loss of muscle strength. This condition is caused when the electrical signals from the brain to these areas are unexpectedly disrupted. As a result, they tend to feel weak and tired even when they were still normal a few minutes or hours ago. Since the symptom is sudden, the patients would fall down to the ground, which would lead to severe injuries on some body parts, especially the head. It often takes around 10 to 15 seconds for the loss to disappear. [4]
