Patient's question:
I have epilepsy as a result of head trauma since childhood. I visited a hospital that combines traditional Chinese and Western medicine. I took Western medicine phenytoin, which had a significant effect, and my condition has stabilized. However, in the past six months, I have started experiencing sudden convulsions with twitching, and I also have episodes of short-term memory loss. This indicates a recurrence.Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is characterized by recurrent symptoms, and the age and causes of epilepsy patients vary widely, as do the symptoms of epilepsy attacks. Therefore, treatment methods also differ greatly. In daily life, preventing epilepsy attacks requires eliminating triggers. Epilepsy patients should absolutely avoid alcohol and smoking, overeating, and lack of sleep. They should maintain a sufficient sleep schedule and consume more foods rich in vitamins and dietary fiber.
