If I had a resource such as Symptoms of Epilepsy.org when I was growing up, it would have been of great assistance because it would have explained what was taking place to my classmate. As explained on the content-rich epilepsy website, my elementary school classmate was walking to his seat and all of a sudden, he fell straight to the ground and was having convulsions and his body was as if it was fighting itself, his eyes were rolling in the back of his head uncontrollably.

My classmate was experiencing a common form of epilepsy called grand mal. So you may be wondering what is grand mal? We'll answer this important question for you, so you can understand it better. As mentioned earlier, grand mal involves a victim who has a pronounced seizure with convulsions, loss of consciousness and twitching.

Gran mal is not the only kind of epileptic event that some people experience, in fact some victims with pronounced stages experience gnashing of teeth, tongue biting, bladder incontinence, eyes rolling in the back of their head, pallor and rapid pulse are other symptoms to help you manage the victim once an occurrence takes place.
