My mother is feeling uncontrollable laughter, for few minutes, and lockjaw after the laughter phase? She is not identifying us and not able to remember what happened to her during the phase.

Dear lybrate-user. A gelastic seizure, also known as "gelastic epilepsy" is a rare type of seizure that involves a sudden burst of energy, usually in the form of laughing or crying. This syndrome usually occurs for no obvious reason and is uncontrollable. I suggest you to consult a neurologist for consultation and treatment. Take care.
