It's dif per person, I have Gen seizures and may have, but since being diagnosed with my condition and such, I think that my current condition is more stable than before and I am ok with that, my opinion here

My Son does that... I didn't know he was having a seizure. I just thought 🤔 he was staring off too outer space 🌌. Then his Dr told me what was going on with that. I do it a lot

There are all kinds of different things we do when we have a seizure. I’ve been known to stare, drool, shake, fall, walk around, stomp my feet, stiffen up, etc.If your son is staring off into space say his name. If he responds that means it wasn’t a seizure but if he continues to stare and maybe even drool it most likely is a seizure.
