The 911 operator told _me_ (in a situation I won't go into) to tilt the head back and clear the airway. That's what I can tell you.

The snoring is a sign of distress. In a real good grand mal, the subject may also urinate. Always call 911. Even if they seem to be coming out of it after a few minutes, waking up; they could seize again. Had that happen; thought it was all over, she was talking, starting to get up, then the eyes rolled up and she had another seizure. Later I asked her if she remembered being conscious between the seizures, and she didn't. She wasn't all the way back, even though she seemed to be. _Always_ call 911.
