Although promoted as a way to supplement basic or major medical coverage, they are a very poor investment. Some of the benefits offered would duplicate existing coverage and thus are unnecessary.
Seizures are a symptom of epilepsy. Seizures (fits, convulsions) are episodes of disturbed brain function that cause changes in neuromuscular function, attention, or behavior. They are caused by abnormally excited electrical signals in the brain.
Focal seizures: These start in a particular part of your brain, and their names are based on the part where they happen. They can cause both physical and emotional effects and make you feel, see, or hear things that arenât there. About 60% of people with epilepsy have this type of seizure, which is sometimes called a partial seizure.
