Fits are something that has baffled humans for a
long time. In the olden times, if someone
experienced fits they were deemed insane and
locked up. Even in modern times, fits continue to be
a huge problem in the human population. Though
anti-epilepsy drugs exist and work quite effectively,
there are still many humongous factors in your daily
environment that can trigger seizures and fits.
As was in the previous blog of headaches, today we
will talk about in brief what are fits, what are there
trigger factors, and how can they be avoided or
treated in day to day life.
What are Fits?
Fits or a seizure is a neurological condition that takes
over the human brain and produces odd electrical
waves. Normal human brainwaves are enormously
different than those produced while experiencing a
fit, and there is very little research that can answer
as to why such waves occur.
Fits can occur often to anyone, though many times
people with a personal history of seizures and a
family history of epilepsy are most prone to fits.
People with head injuries are also quite susceptible
to fits and it is recommended that you see a
neurologist if you experience a seizure after a brain
injury.
Trigger Factors of Fits
Though there might be several reasons that can cause a fit,
it is advised to immediately see a neurologist if you
experience one as more than 30% of people who have a fit
will suffer one again.
Hormonal Changes- Hormones can bring a
positive effect to our body but sudden changes
can also bring about several unwanted effects.
Fits can occur in a body undergoing hormonal
change and the person experiencing them
should consult a doctor to be on the safe side.
Infections- Infections can cause dirty, toxic
substances to be accumulated in your body.
These substances many times cause many
diseases and fits are one of them. Though a
person will stop experiencing seizures once the
infection is cleaned out.
Sleep- Proper sleep is an essential need of the human
body and lack of 8 hours of sleep is the root cause of
many problems. Many people who suffer from fits have
been known to have a detrimental sleep pattern and it is
advised to have a fixed, nutritional period of sleep.
Alcohol and Drugs- Mind-altering substances interfere
with the electronic brain patterns that can trigger
epilepsy. Too many drugs and alcohol addiction can lead
to frequent fits and eventually epilepsy.
Flashy Lights- Flashy lights or strobe lights are known
to cause seizures as photosensitive epilepsy is one of
the most common forms of epilepsy. Flicker lights can
cause a seizure in up to 3 people out of a hundred so it
is advised to avoid them if you have a history of fits.
How to Treat Fits at Home?
Fits are a unique neurological disorder however they
can be avoided with simple practices that have been
proven to reduce the risk and frequency of seizures.
Sleep Properly- Have ample amounts of sleep daily
and catch up in the day time if you did not sleep well
during the night. A good night’s sleep is essential in
avoiding seizures and other diseases.
Eat Your Vitamins- Vitamin E and Vitamin B6 can
help a lot with seizures and fits. Vitamin B6 is helpful
for people who have seizures due to improper
metabolization of the same and Vitamin E is a catalyst
for antioxidants.
Meditation- Yoga, and meditation are needed to
reset a mind after a long day of stress and tension.
Meditation helps with seizures as it is a soothing
activity for your brain.
Herbal Therapy- Many herbal therapies are
available for epilepsy and seizures but you need to
consult a doctor before indulging in them as some
might interfere with your prescription drugs. Though
herbal therapy is a good, separate option for those
that can’t get any response from conventional drugs.
Take Care of Yourself- Your body needs proper
maintenance. If you regularly experience headaches,
fatigue, and lethargy, you consult a doctor and make
a lifestyle change. Seizures can occur if the human
body is not maintained with proper nutrition and
recovery.
