Patient's question:
I recently had a sudden episode where I fell to the ground and convulsed on the street, scaring some people, and I was even scared of myself. Then I was taken to the hospital and found out I had epilepsy. I want to know what kind of tests should be done for epilepsy? Can it be cured? I haven't even gotten married yet.Doctor's answer:
You recently had a sudden recurrence of epilepsy symptoms on the street. Epilepsy is a chronic disease caused by sudden abnormal pulses of brain neurons, leading to brain dysfunction. It is a chronic condition of the nervous system, so it is necessary to promptly visit a neurology doctor for follow-up and undergo careful examinations such as an electroencephalogram. Based on clinical symptoms and diagnosis, determine the type of epilepsy and then prescribe symptomatic medication.
