At least 40% of the time when someone faints they have some abnormal movements. These aren’t seizures! Convulsive syncope is what we call it when someone faints and jerks a bit.
Lyrics
Sunday morn and her heads all light
Stayed up late the previous night
Takes a step to the bathroom
Staggers and then blacks out
It was a fainting spell!
Then she starts to shake a bit
But comes right out of it
Was that a seizure that she had?
Call the ambulance now Dad!
[Chorus]
It was just syncope
Convulsions happen frequently
Sometimes limbs just jerk a while
Not a seizure by a mile!
