Warning signs At the start or right before a seizure occurs you may experience specific feelings, smells, tastes, memory lapses, daydreaming or jerking movements. Being aware of your specific warnings will allow you to prevent seizures and to position yourself so that the seizure is less likely to hurt you. Triggers Triggers are certain situations that make it more likely for the person with epilepsy to have a seizure. Not all seizures are caused by triggers and some types of epileptic seizures are more likely to have triggers than others. Knowing what triggers your seizures can help you recognize when a seizure may be coming and help you be prepared to lessen the chance that one may occur. Keeping track of your circumstances when you have a seizure can help you figure out what your triggers are. You should also have in mind that when you believe something is a trigger, you might get stressed when you experience it, causing you a seizure. In this case you will not know if the trigger was the apparent trigger or the stress itself. To avoid these situations, it is recommended to keep calm when you experience a possible trigger. Mindful breathing and meditation are techniques used to achieve this calmness. The most common triggers are alcohol consumption, stress, missing medication and sleep deprivation.
