Generally, epilepsy patients often have precursor subjective symptoms before a recurrence, such as abnormal sensations, chest tightness, discomfort in the upper abdomen, fear, drooling, difficulty hearing, blurred vision, etc. Therefore, the patient should promptly return to dangerous situations, such as on a highway, by a pond, or near a fireplace, and seek a safe place to sit or lie down as soon as possible when these signs indicate an impending seizure. The patient's family members should also learn to carefully observe the patient's pre-seizure symptoms to take preventive measures early and avoid further accidental injuries.
