                         Due to continuous stimulation, some involuntary jerks are formed in the body, which is called Epilepsy. It may be a while or continue for a few minutes.

Causes of Epilepsy:
                       Fever is a major factor in children. In some cases, as central nervous system diseases, paralysis, rabies from mad dog bites, by iron nail pierce cause tetanus disease etc, it is possible that Epilepsy is coming in many pathogenic conditions. Reduce the sugar percentage in blood, injury in the head, due to some types of medication, due to the sudden withdrawal of alcohol supplements, sleeping pills cause Epilepsy
                            Abnormal hormone secretion, low in the amount of Na, Ca, low in the amount of glucose and oxygen also cause Epilepsy. There are three types of Epilepsy.

• Let the air pass on the patient. Because of oxygen dresses the epilepsy condition.
• Put any available cold material in the hands of the victim, like keys etc. Some people understand that if we put keys in the hand of the victim, which decrease the epilepsy condition. It is not correct. The right thing is that the coldness in keys decreases the epilepsy condition, not the keys.
