Patient's question:
My child doesn't know how he contracted epilepsy, and it's hard to say how serious it is. The doctor said it's benign. The child rarely has seizures, and the symptoms are quite mild—just occasional staring spells. I want to understand what symptoms are associated with benign epilepsy seizures. What kind of help is needed: What are the symptoms of benign epilepsy seizures?Doctor's answer:
The duration of epilepsy seizures varies, and the manifestations exhibited by patients include pre-seizure subjective symptoms. During the seizure, specific manifestations are observed, with typical examples being twitching, erratic eye movement, and loss of consciousness. In addition to the manifestations during the recovery period after a seizure. Epileptic patients may experience some subjective symptoms before a seizure, such as abnormal sensations, chest tightness, discomfort in the upper abdomen, fear, drooling, smelling strange odors, hearing muffled sounds or strange sounds, and blurred vision. During a seizure, some patients may first emit strange cries, followed by a recurrence of loss of consciousness and falling. There may be generalized muscle rigidity, hesitation in breathing, and the head and eyes may turn to one side.
