Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. My classmate suddenly fainted on the ground during class today, with convulsions and foaming at the mouth, which scared us all. Later, we found out she suffers from epilepsy. Do you have any signs before an epilepsy attack?Doctor's answer:
The classmate suddenly fainted in class, convulsing with limbs twitching and foaming at the mouth, which might last for over ten minutes before gradually easing. This situation indeed warrants high suspicion of epilepsy. Epileptic seizures generally have no long-term premonition. Some people might shout a loud cry or feel visual stimuli, after which they suddenly lose consciousness. Maintain physical and mental health, keep personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
