[QUOTE="Emila, post: 2390310, member: 396916"] My 21 yr old son had a sudden seizure in the middle of Sainsbury's today. It was all a bit scary. He usually has good hypo awareness and did realise he needed to have a sugary drink but didn't think it was urgent. We were at the checkout and paid for the sandwich and drink and he was just opening the bottle of Apple juice when he suddenly went rigid and had a seizure that lasted about a minute. Luckily my husband was just behind him and caught him before he fell to the floor. It was all very scary, he wasn't able to eat or drink anything and he blacked out . Eventually after 6 or 7 minutes he came round and was able to drink some Apple juice and eventually eat a sandwich. An ambulance had been called but as he had recovered it wasn't needed by the time it arrived. We took him outside for a sit down and he was complaining of muscle aches, he thought he had a pulled muscle in his thigh. Six hours later his muscles in his legs and thighs and in his groin are all aching. Does anyone know of this is normal and will he feel better after a good night's rest? [/QUOTE]
