For all the teachers who have returned today or are teaching online. Here are the signs to watch for if a student is having a seizure: Signs that may indicate ...that a student is having a seizure include: a sudden loss of awareness that may appear like daydreaming a brief lack of response memory gaps rhythmic head nodding rapid eye blinking repeated movements that appear unnatural repeated jerking movements of the body, arms, or legs sudden falls without an apparent reason sudden stomach pain followed by sleepiness and confusion frequent complaints that things taste, sound, smell, look, or feel strange sudden fear, panic, or anger without an apparent reason.
