A member asked:
Can a person be conscious during status epilepticus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not normally: The definition of status epilepticus from the working group of the epilepsy foundation is " "more than 30 minutes of continuous seizure activity or two or more sequential seizures without full recovery of consciousness between seizures." so there could be sone consciousness, for example with non-convulsive status epilepticus, but it wouldn't be close to the person's normal state.
