My girlfriend has staring spell seizures. I read somewhere online that when she has a staring spell seizure that I should talk to her and that that will help her come out of it? Is there any truth to that and are there other things I can do to help her?
Talking is used to keep the person having the seizure calm during and after the seizure is over and they are confused of what has just happened. Talking to someone having a seizure may help them come around quicker because its trying to get the person to respond thus causing their brain to switch its focus from the seizure to normal brain activity. I know from my experience with my seizures that if someone talked to me, my seizures wouldn't last as long as if the seizures would have ran their course without someone talking to me.
Other things that can be done while she is having her seizure is to guide her away from hazards that may be around her at the time such as stairs, sharp objects, etc. This is for the instance that she may begin having some movement during the seizure and doesn't harm herself.
Stay with her until she is completely aware of her surroundings and what is going on.
