00:00What would you do if you suddenly hang up the phone?
00:11I don't know what to do.
00:14What's that?
00:16I don't know what to do.
00:18While you were talking, you suddenly stopped.
00:22And when it comes to what you're saying, you don't understand it anymore.
00:31Is this normal or should you be nervous?
00:41Last year, this video became a hot topic.
00:45Where should be a happy story, suddenly...
00:49Hey! Hey!
00:56According to the expert, this is called a silent seashore.
01:03What is this? Wait and see.
01:06Hey! Hey!
01:09Did you know that there are more than 30 types of seashores?
01:14This is based on the study of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke in the US.
01:19According to the study, not all seashores are noticeable or have symptoms like a loud sound.
01:27There is a so-called silent seashore.
01:30It's like when a person suddenly faints for one to ten seconds.
01:38For adults, when they get old, it's usually secondary to something or there's a cause.
01:44The most common cause is stroke, dementia, or usually brain tumors.
01:52Those are the ones that cause seizures like absences.
01:57Patricia has been working in Taiwan as a factory worker for three years.
02:03My work is for my two babies, including my parents and my siblings.
02:11My job is very important to me because it's hard to find a job these days.
02:21That's why I need to value my work here in Taiwan.
02:27She's doing her best for her loved ones.
02:30Pat is a good person and a generous person.
02:38Whatever she has, she can give it to others even if she's about to pass away.
02:46She's very selfless.
02:48That's why sometimes, she deserves to be left alone.
02:53If you look at her physically, she's very okay.
02:57She's happy and energetic.
02:59She doesn't feel anything else.
03:01She enjoys herself.
03:03We don't always do that.
03:05We do it whenever we can.
03:10That's why sometimes, she deserves to be left alone.
03:14I don't feel anything.
03:18I don't have headaches, dizziness, or a weak body.
03:24That's why we're able to go out.
03:26I feel okay.
03:27Patricia should be the one to talk to her.
03:31But she's acting like she's not.
03:35Oh my God!
03:37And she's not even worried about what people are saying.
03:41Yes, that's why I'm doing this.
03:47Usually, when a person has a seizure,
03:50it's very normal that they don't feel anything.
03:54It's like she's not aware of it.
03:55She doesn't feel anything.
03:57It's like she doesn't have awareness that nothing is okay with her.
04:00Nothing is happening to her.
04:02And then suddenly, she had a seizure.
04:05Oh my God!
04:09She fell, and then she screamed.
04:12There are other smaller seizures.
04:14It's literally a silent seizure.
04:18She doesn't have any symptoms or symptoms before the seizure.
04:22After my seizure,
04:23I can't remember anything.
04:27I can't think of anything.
04:29I feel like I'm lost.
04:31I ask my colleagues,
04:33why am I here?
04:35Why am I in a wheelchair?
04:37Why?
04:39Because there's nothing.
04:41Everything is blank.
04:43According to Doc, a silent seizure usually happens to children,
04:47but it can also happen to adults.
04:49One of the types of seizures is when a person is absent.
04:54It's most common to children,
04:56but it can also happen to adults.
05:00What happens is,
05:02a person is just staring blankly.
05:06Usually, it's only for a few seconds.
05:09Sometimes, it's less than one minute.
05:11That's how long it is.
05:13But during that time,
05:15the patient is not aware or absent.
05:18That's why she can't speak.
05:20She can't understand.
05:22According to Doc,
05:24the possible triggers from such an attack are
05:27flashing lights, fatigue, and fatigue.
05:30According to the doctor,
05:32one of the triggers is the flashing light.
05:35Because at that time,
05:37during bowling,
05:39there was a flashing light in the bowling area.
05:43Another one is
05:45fatigue,
05:47fatigue at work,
05:49and stress.
05:56Even Patricia's partner was surprised.
06:01I couldn't think of anything else.
06:04I was worried about her.
06:07I was afraid.
06:09I didn't know what was happening.
06:11I couldn't explain.
06:13Why was this happening?
06:15What should I do?
06:17That's when I decided to secure her head.
06:21Just for safety.
06:23I was really worried about her.
06:27If someone you know experiences a seizure,
06:30it's usually best to leave them.
06:33Let them rest.
06:35Don't let them sit or stand.
06:37They can fall and hurt their head.
06:41Let the seizure run its course.
06:45After the seizure,
06:47the patient should be rushed to the hospital for examination.
06:51Patricia asked the doctor
06:54after the event.
06:56According to the examination,
06:58she experienced an absence or silent seizure.
07:01The next day, we found out that
07:04the doctor said
07:05I have ROC seizure.
07:08I got that from flashing lights
07:13or fatigue at work.
07:17Of course, we can avoid risk factors for stroke,
07:20risk factors for dementia.
07:22We can avoid starvation
07:25and fatigue.
07:27The doctor advised Patricia
07:29not to get tired.
07:31It's important to rest.
07:32It's important to rest.
07:34It can happen again to someone who experienced a seizure.
07:38What I realized
07:40when I experienced a seizure
07:43is not because I'm young
07:46or I don't pay attention.
07:49It's because of my health.
07:54One year after the incident,
07:57Patricia is thankful
07:59that she didn't have a seizure again.
08:02She followed the doctor's advice
08:04to make sure she gets a good night's sleep
08:06and rest every day.
08:08In addition,
08:10she avoided going to bright and noisy places
08:13to avoid triggering her seizure.
08:17Above all,
08:19she tried to have a healthy living every day.
08:24We work to live,
08:27but remember to take time to rest.
08:30Because health
08:33is of no importance.
