Patient's question:
Is it better to go to an epilepsy hospital? Last time, I accidentally injured my head and suffered a traumatic brain injury. I'm worried about having epilepsy due to the brain injury. If I do, what symptoms might I experience?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of epilepsy include that many patients with epilepsy experience premonitory symptoms before the recurrence of traumatic epilepsy, such as abnormal sensations, chest tightness, discomfort in the upper abdomen, fear, drooling, difficulty hearing, blurred vision, etc. If these symptoms reappear, patients need to seek medical attention promptly for diagnosis to confirm whether they have epilepsy. It is advisable to visit a professional, reputable, or top-tier hospital for diagnosis, as it is important not to trust unqualified practitioners or roadside advertisements to avoid wasting money.
