do you take someone to the hospital after they had a seizure
This can be very frightening, both for the person having the seizure and those around them. Knowing what to do if you see someone having a seizure may help them and make the event less worrying. Most seizures are brief and stop by themselves.They are not usually life threatening, and do not usually require the person to go to hospital. First aid is aimed at keeping the person safe, not to try and affect the course of the seizure. You do not know the person or they have not had a seizure before. 2  A convulsive (shaking) seizure lasts more than five minutes. 3  One convulsive seizure follows another without the person regaining consciousness in between.
