The first line of response when a person has a seizure is to provide general care and comfo and keep the person safe. The information here relates to all types of seizures. What to do in specific situations or for different seizure types is listed in the following pages. Remember that for the majority of seizures, basic seizure first aid is all that may be needed Try to move him away from the train Trying to stop movements or forcibly holding a person down doesn't stop a seizure. Restraining a person can lead to injuries and make the person more confused, agitated or aggressive. People don't fight on purpose during a seizure. Yet if they are restrained when they are confused, they may respond aggressively. If a person tries to walk around, let them walk in a safe, enclosed area if possible.
