After a seizure, she may feel tired, weak, or disoriented. A person who has repeated seizures is said to have the condition called epilepsy. Just because someone has a seizure does not necessarily mean she has epilepsy. Seizures can be triggered in anyone under extreme conditions, such as severe dehydration or high temperature. But when a person experiences repeated seizures for no apparent external reasons or because of an internal problem that can't be corrected, she is said to have epilepsy.
Many people develop epilepsy as children or teens.
Others develop it later in life. For specific medical advice, diagnoses, and treatment, consult your doctor.
