No. Normally the way it goes it the seizure would last about 2-3 mins or longer. then you may be unconscious for a few minutes then come to. If a seizure was to last 30 mins then its very saviour and you would likely end up in a comma. I have only ever had one seizure where I had to be put into a comma when I was really young.

If you were unconscious and seizuring for , The same amount of time ( 30 minutes ) , it is dangerous when a seizure lasts 5minutes . By the 5minute mark your brain loses
oxygen .

Or were you unconscious as asleep. After you had a seizure , it made you exhausted to where you fell asleep.

Being asleep ( unconscious ) for that long after a seizure is ok.

I’ve been knock out from strong seizures into the next day.

No, being unconscious for 30 minutes or more during a seizure is not normal and requires immediate medical attention. Most seizures typically end naturally within a few minutes. If a seizure lasts longer than 5 minutes, or if someone has three or more seizures in a row without regaining consciousness, this is considered a Show Full Answer

No, being unconscious for 30 minutes or more during a seizure is not normal and requires immediate medical attention. Most seizures typically end naturally within a few minutes. If a seizure lasts longer than 5 minutes, or if someone has three or more seizures in a row without regaining consciousness, this is considered a medical emergency. Prolonged seizures lasting more than 5 minutes (known as status epilepticus) are considered an emergency situation and can potentially lead to:

• Brain injuries
• Physical injuries from loss of consciousness
• Cognitive impairment
• Other medical complications

If someone experiences a seizure lasting this long, call emergency services immediately. Do not wait to see if it will stop on its own.
