Patient's question:
My brother has always had epilepsy. He experiences one to two episodes every year. The family thought the medication was working well. However, during his last episode, he actually vomited blood. This has made my mom and the rest of the family very worried. For this reason, I would like to understand specifically why epilepsy causes vomiting blood during an episode?Doctor's answer:
Seizures generally do not cause broken skin. It is recommended that patients first go to the hospital for a clear and thorough examination. Treatment should be carried out according to the doctor's advice. Usually, the symptoms of epilepsy can cause muscle twitching, drooling, and other symptoms. The case of broken skin is likely due to the patient biting their tongue. It is advised to seek medical attention promptly at a formal and professional hospital. Maintain physical and mental health, keep personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
