00:00My grandmother was being attacked and I called her son because she couldn't move her son.
00:12She was selling fruits with her grandson.
00:16Kim, who was just a vendor, couldn't resist approaching my mother.
00:22My grandmother was strong. She pulled me. We were about to fall.
00:27My grandmother was breathing heavily.
00:30She was moving her chest like she was chasing her breath.
00:36Kim was a nursing aide and she was close to her grandmother.
00:40That's why she couldn't resist and didn't help the elderly.
00:45This also happened to her grandmother sometimes.
00:48My grandmother had high blood pressure.
00:50Actually, she's dead now.
00:52She was being attacked like that before.
00:56It was the same as what happened to my grandfather's grandmother.
01:00She was also chasing her breath.
01:03It was like she was having a seizure.
01:06That's why I saw my grandmother in her.
01:09Kim's story is that the weather was extremely hot that day.
01:14For me, it was really hot.
01:17I sat her down and tickled her hair.
01:22According to the emergency medicine physician, Dr. Ralph Lorenz-Dantes,
01:27the weather was extremely hot.
01:32In my mother's background, at work, in a hot environment,
01:36especially now, when the weather is extremely hot,
01:39the possibility of developing heat stroke,
01:45Listen to me!
01:47Hearing and hearing the mother's body
01:50can be a sign of a seizure.
01:53A seizure is an activity in a person's brain.
01:57If there is an imbalance in the activity in the brain,
02:00the patient can have a seizure episode.
02:04According to the doctor,
02:05a possible trigger for a seizure is the weather.
02:08My mother was in an open area.
02:11Her exposure to heat was high.
02:15In heat stroke, it can manifest as a seizure.
02:21Our brain has a mechanism to regulate the temperature of our body.
02:27If the temperature is too high around,
02:30the mechanism or the defense mechanism of our body disappears.
02:35So the tendency is that the patient will also have a seizure attack.
02:41A week after the incident,
02:43we were able to talk to 69-year-old Rosalina.
02:48She is the one in the video.
02:50For a month, I have a seizure.
02:52I always have my mouth closed.
02:55I get tired easily.
02:57Despite her age and severe high blood pressure,
03:00she still works in the market.
03:03I work in the market.
03:06I cook. It's hot.
03:08I have to buy medicine.
03:12She said that her feelings were not good before she had a seizure.
03:17I don't understand why she has a seizure.
03:22She gets irritated.
03:23I'm getting used to it, but I don't get irritated.
03:26I've been getting used to it for a long time,
03:29but it's my first time to have a seizure.
03:32According to the doctor,
03:33a high blood pressure can contribute to a seizure.
03:37But under the condition of Rosalina,
03:39a deeper examination is needed to determine the cause.
03:44One of the complications of a high blood pressure
03:48is that there can be a burst of blood in the veins.
03:52We cannot directly associate
03:55the high blood pressure medication
03:58with what happened in the video.
04:00Again, there are many possibilities
04:02that we need to investigate further.
04:04The doctor reminds us not to restrain the patient's body.
04:12We should let the patient be.
04:14If it's serious, we should not restrain or stop them.
04:17We should make sure that the patient is safe.
04:21The best thing to do is to remind the patient
04:24to avoid bumping or hitting the head
04:27and ask for help.
04:30If it looks like a seizure,
04:32we should assist the patient.
04:34If it's in a dangerous environment,
04:38we should remove the patient.
04:39It's better to put the patient in a flat, safe area.
04:43He should not hit his head on hard objects.
04:48If it looks like a seizure,
04:50it's guaranteed that the patient will be given medical attention.
04:55As of now,
04:56the number of seizures is still being observed.
05:00As of now,
05:01the number of seizures is still being observed.
05:04Don't be too suspicious.
05:06But I still want to check.
05:10She also thanks Kim for reminding her.
05:14Thank you very much.
05:16They all know what to do, right?
05:20There are a lot of seizures in our area.
05:24I wish they would stop.
05:27I can't breathe anymore.
05:31If no one knows what to do,
05:34how can I help?
05:40In this emergency case,
05:42all I can think of is
05:45that I need to help my grandmother.
05:57Thank you for tuning in to Pinoy MD.
