Patient's question:
My father has had epilepsy for 5 years. Previously, he had about two or three episodes per year, and the medication has controlled it relatively well. This year, the seizures have been more frequent and uncontrollable. Sometimes he starts twitching even when he's angry or very calm. Hello, what are the triggering factors for epilepsy attacks?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the triggers for epilepsy seizures are related to: abrupt discontinuation of antiepileptic medication or improper dosage, negative emotional stimulation, staying up late, high work pressure, viral or bacterial infections. Therefore, family members should pay close attention to this and supervise him to take medication on time, ensuring no missed doses. Additionally, they should avoid subjecting him to mental stress and advise him to rest on schedule, avoiding staying up late. This can help reduce the frequency of recurrence.
