Patient's question:
What should I do if I have epilepsy? I have had epilepsy for 3 years, and it recurred today. I suddenly lost consciousness. My family says it's quite serious. What problems should I avoid in daily life when suffering from epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy requires long-term medication. Avoid triggers such as emotional excitement, alcohol, strong tea or coffee, overwork, and malnutrition. During an attack, consciousness is lost, and teeth are clenched to prevent falls and biting the tongue. Avoid driving or ice skating to prevent sudden recurrence and potential danger. It is recommended to seek professional and reputable medical advice early. Treatment methods vary depending on the type and severity of the condition. Finding a treatment that suits your specific condition is crucial. Early intervention can significantly reduce the difficulty of treatment and minimize the harm the disease causes to your body.
