Do I need emergency help for a seizure?

Typically, seizures don’t require emergency medical care. But if one or more of these symptoms happens, you’ll need to go to the hospital:

• The seizure lasts more than five minutes.
• The seizure occurs in water.
• This is your first seizure.
• You’re injured during the seizure.
• You’re struggling to breathe or wake up.
• You have a second seizure following the first one.
• You have a health condition, such as diabetes or heart disease.
