If you are walking, sit or lie down. Bright lights, flashing lights, specific odors, lack of sleep, missed meals, menses, increased stress or emotional difficulties, alcohol, new medications, or changed dosages of existing medications can all be triggers.

Seizures Partial seizures affect one part of a cerebral hemisphere.
Symptoms depend on the part of the brain involved.
Partial seizures may become generalized later in the attack. These symptoms can begin in one part of the body and then spread to other areas. Complex partial seizures cause some loss of consciousness and usually indicate temporal lobe involvement. Purposeless, automatic movements might occur. The seizure may be preceded, accompanied or followed by psychic symptoms.
