What is the difference between seizures, convulsions, epilepsy and tremors?
Seizures are temporary disruptions in brain activity due to excessive and inordinate neuronal discharge, focally or in a generalised manner.Epilepsy is a condition in which the affected individual suffers from recurring seizures.Convulsions are erratic involuntary muscular movements. Their etiology is variable: From vitamin deficiencies ( Vitamin B6 deficiency) to epileptic developments in the Primary motor cortex of one's brain.Tremors are principally undesired oscillatory movements of the distal limb. These are encumbering as well as distressing. They may be voluntary, as in only observed during action, seen in cases of Parkinsonism or involuntary ( seen even in resting state) as in cases of cerebellar lesions. Tremors may be fine or may be coarse.

What is the best health insurance plan available in India that is most comprehensive and covers critical illness?
It is difficult to pick out any one health insurance plan as what may be suitable for you may not so for another person. Hence, meticulous research is mandatory in order to find out which plan works best for you.You will have to be sure about your financial capabilities, i.e. the coverage you will require, the premiums you will pay, the facilities that are a must for you. For starters, you will have to be sure regarding the type of health insurance plan for yourself. If you are unmarried, then a single plan will be sufficient for you. If you have people who are dependant on you then you a floater plan is something that you will need for yourself.You will also have to choose a plan depending on your family’s medical history and lifestyle. If you have members who are susceptible to falling ill often or have a lifestyle which involves smoking and drinking, then the plan will be different for you as compared to someone who is a non-smoker or does not consume alcohol.You will also have to check the facilities and benefits provided by the different insurance companies including the premiums that you will have to pay and its features. If you or any of your family suffers from a pre-existing condition, it is important that you properly research. Generally, various insurance company are not willing to provide cover to you if you suffer from any pre-existing condition and even if they do, there is generally a lock-in period.Top insurance companies generally provide cover against major critical illnesses but it is still important to check and read the documents before signing on the dotted lines. For example, Star Health Insurance does have plans not only for people suffering from cancer but is the only insurer in India to cover those suffering from HIV/AIDS. Health insurance companies such as Max Bupa, Reliance Health Insurance, etc. also provide cover against major critical illnesses and diseases.You must also check the incurred claim ratio of the health insurance company before selecting a health insurance plan for yourself. Higher the incurred claim ratio, better the company is likely to be.In the end, only proper research and comparison depending on your family’s medical history will you be able to select a proper health insurance plan most suitable for you.
