Tonic seizures will see a person's body suddenly stiffen and breathing stops as all the muscles are being given a signal to go rigid, and if unsupported, the person may fall.

Epilepsy and seizures are unpredictable. Sometimes a person having a seizure can result in a change of plans.

Being flexible and understanding with them can help them feel less guilty.
