Patient's question:
Ten years ago, I had several episodes where my body turned purple and I had difficulty breathing for several minutes. I was treated at Provincial Hospital No. 2.Doctor's answer:
It may be caused by epilepsy, and tests such as an electroencephalogram (EEG) and brain CT are needed. Medications such as phenobarbital, diazepam, and sodium amobarbital should be taken orally. If the effect is not good, minimally invasive surgery should be performed at the hospital. Generally, Western medicine should not be arbitrarily changed, interrupted, or stopped. Only after the epilepsy has been completely controlled for 2-3 years and the EEG is normal can the dosage be gradually reduced and the medication stopped.
