Epilepsy – Symptoms & Causes

Staring

When the brain is affected by epilepsy, some regions cannot function properly. As a result, a partial loss of consciousness would occur in a short period of time. During these periods, the people tend to stare off into space blankly. Family members or friends might think that they are lost in thought or briefly daydreaming when, in fact, they are actually having one or series of seizures triggered by epilepsy. This is a relatively serious symptom that indicates possible damages in the cognitive system. Thus, make sure to consult your doctor as soon as possible to prevent more complications. [3]
