For a few people, flickering lights and loud noises can be a trigger for a seizure. Two of the most common sources of flickering lights would be the television and video games. Another problem might be caused by shadow and light outdoors. In this case a good pair of sunglasses might help. You may be one of the lucky ones and have an early warning system for a seizure.
Some people have an aura just before a seizure.
An aura is a strange feeling or a sensation. It might be ringing in the ears, dizziness, sick to stomach, or just about anything. If it happens every time you have a seizure, it is your aura. For your epilepsy treatment to work the best that it can for you, you must take an active role. This means that you must take your medications and take them at the scheduled time.
