Symptom #6: Convulsion
A convulsion is a condition where there is rapid contraction and relaxation of the muscles resulting in involuntary shaking of the body. The term is often used as a synonym for seizures. During a convulsion, the affected individual may experience uncontrollable muscle spasms, drooling, confusion, blackout, loss of bladder or bowel control, temporary cessation of breathing, and sudden shaking of the entire body. Symptoms may last from a few seconds to about 15 minutes.
Some causes of convulsion include meningitis, encephalitis, febrile seizures, hypoglycemia, and vitamin deficiency. It may also occur among those with calcium deficiency.
