Patient's question:
38, fell asleep one night, suddenly shouted, twitched, sweated on his forehead, eyes rolled up, and had another episode after 2 hours. Neurosurgery examination showed nothing wrong with the brain, and no old injuries were found. Diagnosed with epilepsy. I don’t know what the reason is? I also don’t know if it is really this disease.Doctor's answer:
There is a high possibility of petit mal epilepsy. Petit mal epilepsy is a relatively common type of epilepsy. Typical petit mal seizures are sudden, brief loss of consciousness, usually not exceeding 30 seconds. They often do not cause falls or convulsions. Variants of petit mal seizures include other forms of seizures.Guidance: Closely monitor the condition. During episodes, an electroencephalogram (EEG) can be performed, which may help with diagnosis. Take care of the patient's emotions, avoid overexertion, and reduce emotional stress.
