Roommate seizure webmd sucks

[lippy]

Do I have to put him on his side, does he have to spit out what was in his mouth and can he just go back to sleep or do i need to make sure he's back with it?

[lippy]

Sounds like his breathing isn't doing as well as it should because of phlegm or whatever came up because he's lying on his back, should I force him to his side?

Dude, if your roommate had a seizure, take him to the [censored] hospital!

He has some sort of epilepsy where he has periodic seizures... he never got around to telling me what to do when he has one, but I know he doesn't need to go to the hospital. His parents won't answer their house phone at the moment right now, which is sweeeeeet.

At the very least you should be calling an emergency room for advice, posting here isn't really the best use of your time.

"...but I know he doesn't need to go to the hospital" isn't going to seem like such a good answer if, in fact, he dies.

He's told me this much, and I know enough about the disorder to know he's not going to die...

I just turned him on his side and tucked him in with a towel under his head and he's out like a lamp. I guess I'll just check on him every few minutes for a while.

Feel free to delete/close thread.

This may be just an anxiety attack. You should still call someone though.

just do this

if your roomie told you it happens often there's no need to take him to the hospital - just make sure he can breathe

a friend of a friend died when he had a seizure when he fell off his bed into a pile of clothes and couldn't breathe

This is what I was looking for, I couldn't find it. This is probably good for everyone to read anyways.
