Patient's question:
What should I do about epilepsy? In my 20s, after not knowing the reason for having a seizure, I went to the hospital for examination and was diagnosed. Since then, I have been controlling it with medication. I want to know what aspects I need to pay attention to for my condition to be beneficial. What aspects should I pay attention to for epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
If it is confirmed to be epilepsy, it is necessary to persist in maintaining the prescribed dosage, attend irregular outpatient follow-up, and refrain from smoking, maintaining regular sleep and rest, and avoiding factors that may trigger epilepsy attacks during medication, such as reducing mobile phone use, eating a clean diet, and preventing emotional excitement.Family members should enhance care and attention, carefully observe and promptly detect early signs of an attack, and handle them in time. Patients, in particular, should be given special attention and, if there are any other issues, should promptly seek treatment plans at large hospitals. Avoid spicy foods.
It is recommended that epilepsy patients avoid extreme hunger or overeating, use stimulant drinks sparingly, and consume more acidic foods (such as peanuts, walnuts, pork, fish, shrimp, etc.), which can help prevent recurrence, ensure the supply of vitamin B, and aid in the production of neurotransmitters. Additionally, it is appropriate to eat more boiled beans and eggs.
