Patient's question:

The twitching lasts for 10-30 seconds, but the number of twitches keeps increasing, and it happens almost every day. Hello, how can epilepsy be effectively treated?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a chronic disease characterized by sudden, excessive, and abnormal electrical discharges in brain neurons, leading to temporary dysfunction of the brain. An epileptic seizure refers to a clinical diagnosis phenomenon caused by abnormal and excessive hypersynchronous discharges of brain neurons. Its features are sudden and transient symptoms, as the location of the neurons with abnormal discharges in the brain varies, resulting in a wide range of manifestations. It is recommended that you seek treatment from a regular medical institution, as there is a scientific therapy available to treat it. Patients should pay more attention to their diet, avoiding spicy and pungent foods. For example, seafood like fish and shrimp, as well as beef and mutton, should be consumed in moderation or avoided. Beer should not be consumed, and overtime work should be avoided.
