Patient's question:
My classmate's brother has epilepsy. When he was young, my mom and they called this disease "" (yáng jiǎo fēng). Recently, I heard that a colleague's child also has this disease, saying they have had it since they were young. I don't know what the general symptoms of epilepsy are.Doctor's answer:
Hello, epilepsy symptoms, brief seizures with sudden interruption of mental activity, loss of consciousness, may be accompanied by myoclonus or automatisms. A single seizure lasts from a few seconds to more than ten seconds. The electroencephalogram shows a 3 Hz spike-wave or sharp-slow wave complex. Grand seizures involve sudden loss of consciousness, followed by tonic-clonic convulsions. They are often accompanied by screaming, bluish complexion, incontinence, bitten tongue, foaming at the mouth or blood foam, and dilated pupils.
