Just witnessed a seizure.

Holy shit guys, I just got back from playing cards tonight and someone totally had a seizure.  He was a new dude someone in our playgroup met at the card shop so no one knew if he had a history of seizures or anything. But he totally had a seizure, for like 30-40 seconds he was full on having uncontrollable convulsions and when he was done he was absolutely gone. Like I looked into his eyes and I was 98% sure he was dead until we saw he was breathing. But for like 3-5 minutes afterwards he was completely unresponsive, like his eyes were open but we was gone. That was almost more scary than the seizure because he just kept looking at everyone with this dead slightly evil look. There was a knife on the table I had to move out of sight and I feel like a bitch for doing so, but I honestly felt like he could have snapped for a second and started to use it on is. But then after like 5 minutes he became more coherent but had to throw up almost right away as soon as he came to, And then he ralphed again like 20 minutes later.
Long story short we tried to explain to him what happened but he absolutely denied it was a seizure and said it was food poisoning. We tried desperately to call an ambulance but he outright refused and after about 2 hours he left and went home after we pleaded with him to stay. I got his phone number and I'm going call him in the morning to mak sure he is ok, and I tracked down his parents over social media and contacted them. I don't really know what else I could have done but I feel super bad about this whole situation but if he refused medical treatment there is nothing I can do, it's not like we could have forced him to stay at the house against his will. Did I handle this situation right?
PS: back ground info: He just got done smoking a 2gram blunt and had been drinking before. As I said before he was new to our playgroup so I'm not 100% sure but I don't think he smokes much, atleast he usually doesn't whenever I'd seen him before.

there is only so much you can do.
probably didnt handle the actual seizure correctly... but hey when someone snaps to, denies medical treatment, and runs out the door, there really isnt much more you can do.

I really don't have anything to add other than this reminds of this one time I had an ex-coworker over
We smoked out (first time I ever smoked with the dude), drank a couple beers, and then the dude just stood up, looked completely gone, and then fell face first into my glass dinner table. And in the process gashed himself DEEP in several places due to all the shattered glass. Me and this other dude were trying so hard to wake this guy up, and he just wouldn't. We thought he was dead. But after like 90 seconds of shaking this guy he finally woke up, not having any idea what the fuck just happened.
I jetted him up to the ER because the guy was literally bleeding the fuck out -- my place looked like a damn murder scene.
He got like 50 some stitches. Shit was cray.

what a weirdo "no i didnt have a siezure" WTF?
i think u handled it pretty well. I know when someone is having a siezure, its best to lay them on the ground and play Bassnectar on your stereo REALLY LOUD.
Helps with the convulsions

just seems weird to outright deny it like nothing happened. Like doesnt he have a lapse in time where he doesnt remember what happened?

thats what i have noticed.. like a blackout of time.. but im not a doctor by any means but i believe seizures are all come from the brain, if that is true, it would make sense people dont have any recollection.

A valid theory. And yes a siezure is basically a Chaotic lighting storm in the brain.
From this thread i know i should get the siezure on video in case the person doesnt believe me.

Thanks for the reassurance everyone, I know I did what I could, but I guess what it comes down to is I just wish I could have done more.
And ya he was out, we tried asking if he was ok directly afterwards and he wouldn't respond to anything, I doubt he remembered any of of the convulsions, But still I don't know why he wouldn't believe us about it. If an entire room of people are telling you you just had a seizure you should probably listen to them.
But I just called him, no answer, probably still sleeping, gonna try back in a few hours.

The medical term for this is called "catching a whitey". In this case it was even a seizure rather than just fainting. That is about as hard as you can even whitey. He probably doesn't have a history of seizures so when you told him he had one it sounded stupid because he was unconscious and had no memory of it, and then his brain was all zapped and electrified afterwards. You probably should have called him an ambulance.

He needs to go see a real doctor. Did you do any neurological tests on him after?
Basically, check his pupils for asymmetry, ask him to follow your finger with his eyes, ask him what day and month it is, ask him touch the tip or his nose with his fingers etc.

I wish there were more education on what to do when someone's having a seizure.
I learned alot of first aid shit but when my brother had a seizure last year I came to see my mom trying to lift my brother from behind the toilet as he's shaking and making snorting sounds. I told her not to move him but she was freaking out and screaming he was choking and his girlfriend was crying about how "I can't lose him" and they fucking freaked me out so I grabbed him by the shoulders and hauled him over so he was kinda sitting against the wall and the tub.
I still dunno if that was the best idea or if we shoulda just tried to pad his head from smashing into the toilet.
Anyway, he wasn't choking. It was part of the convulsions making his throat muscles do a reverse swallow, like what you do when you're trying to hock a lugie.
Terrified my family at any rate. Cuz they didn't understand wtf was going on and I tried several times to explain what a seizure is, that it's not terribly uncommon (especially in drug addicts) and that he was fine... But they were too freaked out to listen and are still convinced he almost died.

I was working as a salesman. I stayed in a hotel with two women, other salespeople, on a business trip.
In the morning this one lady, a former marine, started having a seizure while we were on a conference call with the regional manager and all the other sales people. We were all getting ready to hit the streets for the day, she seizes, then just gets undressed and gets in bed. We were supposed to be leaving, she was all sorts of confused.
She didn't even know she had a seizure, kinda denied it. Then we all went out and got to work. She sold more than anyone in the company that day.
My sister had a seizure when I was younger, and she lost a few years of her memory, it came back after a few days, but for a while she thought she was a kid in school. She was an adult nurse with children though.

Should tell your friend not to get on epilepsy meds unless he gets diagnosed with something that would cause seizures or he has more episodes.
The doc at the ER gave my brother kepra (I think is the name) which is an antisiezure med. There's so many problems with these drugs, once you're on them you're on them for life. And they can actually cause more seizures.
A seizure is caused when the brain short circuits. It restabalizes itself in normal conditions. The young and the elderly often have seizures due to changes in the brain. People most often get seizures (non-brain damage seizures) due to a reaction of environmental factors. Which most often is gaba related drugs.
So yeah its worth checking out to see if he had a bad reaction to something but too many doctors like to jump to drug treatment when it isn't needed.

Orthostatic hypotension is really common after you smoke pot. There's tons of video of people passing out after taking a hit then standing up. Dude probably held his breath as he was standing then exhaled. This is the reverse of the valsalva maneuver that pilots use under heavy G forces to keep from passing out. A lot of people will have a short burst of muscle jerking after fainting too.

Ha. My dad had a bunch of seizures related to a small brain bleed from straining too hard on the toilet. When he woke up, he thought it was 1941.

This happened to me once after smoking a bong, then standing up and walking to the door to blow the toke outside. The second I blew out my toke I fainted and fell on the floor. I was only out for 5 seconds but I forgot where I was or what I was doing. I attributed it to drinking 6 energy drinks that day.

Naw, it's from standing up and exhaling at the same time. A lung full of air/smoke takes up a lot of space in your chest, and this puts pressure on the large vessels. When you stand up, normally the large vessels need to contract to counteract the effects of gravity, other wise blood flows out of your head. If you exhale at the same time you stand, that loss of physical support for blood pressure combines with the requirement to increase the pressure and blood drains from your head.
It happens a lot with bong hits because you generally take much deeper breaths, and maximize the volume of air in the lungs.
The metabolic rate of the retina and opioid nerve are very high, even more than the brain, so people will generally lose their vision before they pass out.
This guy was doing it on purpose

I never passed out from doing squats at the gym i'd put maybe 3 or 4 hundred on and exhale everytime I stood up like clock work
the guy passed out because he had smoke in his lung and his body thought he was near something dangerous like say a fire so it went low to the ground naturally and quick

Yeah, when you are lifting weight you are squeezing the fuck out of your lower body. People pass out when the routine is over and they release that tension.
When you are lifting you are doing exactly what pilots do to counteract g forces and that is what supports your blood pressure.

I had 3 seizures in 2016, never having had one before. No history of epilepsy, and was tested and do not have it now either.
I can totally see someone who has a history of seizures trying to deny it, it's possible that being reported means they're going to lose their licence and possibly their job too. It happened to me. Now I don't think I should be driving at all for the safety of everyone else, but seriously, it has totally uprooted my life and made me miserable, losing my job and not being able to drive. Don't know that this is the reason but I could see it being possible.
Also, OP I can understand you being scared or something but there's no way that guy was thinking evil thoughts. He was out of it. People are seriously dazed after certain seizures and can take several minutes or longer to become responsive. It's a serious shock to the system.

I hit the bowl, felt a little light headed, dropped straight on the ground like in a movie when someone casts a spell on someone that kills them and popped right back up saying "I'M GOOD, THE FUCK? DID I PASS OUT?"
Freaked my friends right the fuck out though. I had taken shrooms the night before too and hadn't eaten much (if at all) that day.
I forget to eat a lot of times, sometimes 2-3 days not eating so i figured it was something blood pressure related from starving and shrooms messing with blood pressure.

Hey I've always had a question about seizures too.
I get real bad sleep paralysis and sometimes it results in me dreaming about having seizures. Is it likely that i might be having seizures in my sleep and don't realize it? I've always written it off since I've never pissed or shit myself, and I've never woken up with a sore tongue from biting it.
But a part of me has always been uncertain of it too.
I've had a period of about a month or so too where i would come really close to fainting and even a few instances where it's like i fell asleep while being active.
Does any of this mean anything?(other than me being completely fucked )

My friend told me I had a seizure once after a big shot of cocaine/heroin, and I also categorically denied it. I thought he was just being dramatic In retrospect it may have happened but at the time I had absolutely no recollection and it seemed like I just came to seamlessly as I would from a regular nod, so I didn't believe it at the time.

I can't imagine witnessing a seizure. That sounds pretty scary, Sara.
I actually have had one seizure myself. It was a few years ago on a Super Bowl day. I was at a Super Bowl party with friends, getting fucked up hard. I had taken 600 mg DXM throughout the evening and left for my place after the game ended. As soon as I got home I took my last end-of-the-bag hit of some really strong spice called "Serenity Now" in my bathroom. (Note: DXM and spice is a very bad combination. NEVER do it! You can die.) As soon as I exhaled I walked out to the common room where my roommates and one of their girlfriend's were sitting. I sat on the couch.... that's the last thing I remember... (Later, my roommates tell me that they saw me sit on the couch and then one of them called my name and I didn't respond. They kept calling my name and still no response. Then either I fell to the ground or my roommates laid me on the ground. I apparently was holding on to my bracelet REALLY tightly. I was like this for five minutes.)
... I suddenly find myself conscious... but in a super heavy hazy feeling... I hear my roommates tell me, "We called an ambulance. You just had a seizure." I didn't believe it, either, like the man in Sara's story, and I walked to my room. (Apparently while I was walking to my room I was extremely hunched over while walking). I locked my door and laid in bed.
Shortly after I hear loud knocks on my bedroom door. It was the fire department. They were ordering me to open my door. I didn't respond or answer. They started to bash my door down with a crowbar or something and I yelled "okay, stop, I'm coming!" I open the door and there were a bunch of EMS and police in my apartment. A stretcher was in the common room and I was convinced after a few tries to get on it and go to the hospital. Apparently while waiting to be convinced to get on the stretcher I was talking to the cops about how weed shouldn't be illegal.
I get to hospital and they just give me an IV of fluids. They wanted to run scans on me but I declined. My roommates pick me up shortly and that's that.

As far as I know you are not supposed to be aware of seizures. The aura, but not the seizure itself. It should be a total gap in your memory. That's why people will have seizures and then not believe you when you tell them. They won't remember anything from a few seconds before the physical seizure to possibly a few minutes after.

I've seen those spice overdose videos. I saw one that looked like a genuine seizure, but the other ones only had passing resemblance to a seizure. They look much more like severe dystonia. Dystonia is a an involuntary clenching of the muscles, and that's what your description of holding onto the bracelet sounds exactly like. ER reports for spice overdoses are littered with references to dystonia.

i had a seizure from xanax withdrawal when i was at work. all i remember is i was sitting at my desk starting the last bit of work i had to do for the day and the next thing i knew i was being loaded into an ambulance by paramedics with a big bump on my head from slamming it into a filing cabinet while seizing out. i was extremely confused, nauseous, sore and shakey and my legs felt almost too weak to stand on. despite the confusion i was able to put 2 and 2 together pretty quickly once i regained consciousness and realized that i just had a seizure.

One of my really good friends I seen do this a couple times. He was on anti seizure n I had to remind him everytime I was around him if he took them. The time that scared me the most is he was on Meth n heroin (which I didn't know at the time) n both of us get albuterol inhalers well he didn't have his at the time n asked me if I could come down n see him cuz he couldn't breathe. I go see em n I could tell something was up asked if he had his meds today, he doesn't answer the question just starts hitting this inhaler trying to catch his breath. Then down he went (mind u I've seen him in seizures before but this was different) face down in a puddle of water. I pulled him out of the puddle n turned him on his side tried to tell him I was calling an ambulance he refused so I got em inside the house where he was at n left. He got ahold of me the next day n explained what happened, had to tell em to tighten up cuz I care about em. He still uses to this day but theirs only so much u can do.

Seizures are an odd condition. It's very common to not even realize you had one afterwards. Some people will have a seizure and people around them will not realize they are having one. My girlfriend used to have seizures a lot when she was younger. She would just be sitting there and then all of a sudden just kind of zone out and become unresponsive for a few minutes, then snap out of it and just pretty much lose track of what just happened. Like suddenly waking up from a deep sleep. She experienced them enough to identify when she had one and when one is coming on. Her vision gets shaky and her head feels funny then it happens. Certain lighting and bright flashing lights tend to bring on seizures for her. Also if she is mentally and physically fatigued it can trigger one. Her latest episode happened when she was working the cash register at a retail outlet on Black Friday and standing there for 10 hours and staring at the computer screen caused it. Stress is also another trigger.
There are many different types of seizures and lots of people get them and don't even realize they had one nor do the people around them, especially if they aren't really interacting with each other like watching a movie maybe. She got them a lot when she was younger in high school now she doesn't get them as much, usually just during periods of high stress or watching something on tv with flashing lights. She can now pinpoint a lot of times when one is coming on and take preventive measures. There's a name for the type of epilepsy seizures she has but I cannot recall it at the moment.
I've also seen some kid have a seizure during a final exam I had back it college. To my understanding the best thing to do is to try and hold them still and also hold their head so there jaw doesn't move so they don't bite their tongue. I guess there's not much you can do except that they don't flop around and hurt themselves by banging their head off the ground. They can be pretty scary experiences.

I've learned in my life theirs only so much u can do for someone the rest is up to them. I care about him he's one of my best friends, but he's gonna want to change. At this point I don't think he's ready to change because he's still using.

Yeah it's everything you can do to just stay clean yourself. Getting emotionally invested in someone else's drug use is almost always a mistake if they were someone you used to get high with. I've stayed friends with some of the people I used to get high with, but you've got to keep some distance, and you kinda end up seeing how fucked up you were when you were using so usually I find those relationships are never the same, as much as I like the people and intend to stay friends.

Very well said and that's exactly what I do. I stand on the sidelines give advice as much as I can because alot of my friends confide in me, but as far as emotions go I don't let it bother me. I'm no saint by anymeans but I don't let drugs control my life anymore.

Seizures look really scary when you witness one in person for the first time. I've only seen one from really close by when a friend with no history of epilepsy suddenly had a dramatic seizure. This felt really scary partly due to me coming up on a low dose of mushrooms and being quite stoned at the time.
He was somewhat inebriated and felt a bit weak, and told others that he'd have to take a nap. On his way to his bed he fell flat on his back and hit his head in the floor. When he was unresponsive another friend called me over to look at him, his eyes made a strange slow motion from side to side slowly moving upwards when I opened his eyelids. Then he slowly started tensing up, convulsing, clenching his jaw, puking and screaming with his mouth closed. All I could think of doing was holding his head and neck straight, and it passed somewhat quickly (it felt long at the time of course). It was one of the more horrifying experiences I've had since I didn't really know what was going on. He is a diabetic and we others thought it might have been something really dangerous related to his blood sugar levels.
Anyway, he didn't have any more later and did get checked by a doctor, but they found nothing wrong with him. All he could think of being wrong was being exhausted from working (he's had a burnout before) and the drugs, I think he had a little bit of shrooms, a glass of wine and way too much pot. He also denied it and said it was probably something else than a seizure, and thought everyone else was exaggerating when explaining how bad it looked.

It's common to remember nothing from a seizure, regardless of what caused it. I see a lot of patients with various seizure disorders. Some of them have hundreds of little seizures a day. That shit really wrecks havoc on development.

Hmmm you could be right about the dystonia. During dystonia should I be unconscious or conscious? Because I was definitely unconscious

You have to have severe hypoglycemia before you would have a seizure. It's doubtful someone without a blood sugar disorder or insulin induced hypoglycemia or a fasting for a day or more would get low enough.
