Does Anyone’s Grand Mal Ever Last Up To 5 Minutes?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Recently when I have my seizures they happen in intervals and can last up to 5 minutes of just a straight 2 minutes of shaking. When I’m done my heart has stopped a couple of times and my body ends up being in pain for 1-3 days.

Do you your having cluster of seizures? You go into a seizure, come out and a little later you go into another seizure and may repeat more times. If that’s so , you may want to talk to your Dr. about a recovery med( Ativan , Lorazepam and ect. ).. this will help slow down to stopping your seizures.
