Recovery & Ongoing Support

First aid does not stop when the shaking stops. When the seizure stops, the person may feel confused, tired, embarrassed, or distressed.

Continue to support them calmly:

Check their breathing
Place them in the recovery position if they are not fully alert
Stay with them until fully conscious
Speak calmly and reassure them
Check for injuries
Respect their dignity and privacy

Note:

It is common for someone to feel tired, confused, or emotional after a seizure. Crowds can increase confusion and distress, so ask others to give space.
