Early Warning Signs of a Seizure

Body Stiffening

Another warning sign of a seizure can be the stiffening of many body parts. When the electrical signals to the brain are changed, several regions that are responsible for controlling muscles and tissues would also be affected. This makes you feel body stiffness, especially on the face, jaw, or limbs. In some worse cases, a loss of bladder and bowel control can happen when the muscle groups in these parts do not work properly. Medical attention is needed immediately as it would indicate an upcoming seizure in the next few hours or days. [5]
