Epidemiology
In tonic phase, the patient will quickly lose consciousness, and the skeletal muscles will suddenly tense, which will cause the patient to fall if standing or sitting. It usually lasts for few seconds. While in clonic phase muscles will start to contract and relax rapidly, causing convulsions.
