Patient's question:
My classmate and I have a good relationship, and her academic performance is very good. However, recently I've noticed that she frequently experiences some recurring issues, often having twitching. I suspect she might have epilepsy. Could you please confirm if it is epilepsy and how it should be treated?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy has its typical manifestations, which can include loss of consciousness, limb convulsions, tremors of the corners of the mouth, and upward rolling of the eyes. Therefore, it is necessary to improve head imaging examinations and electroencephalogram (EEG) tests to understand secondary epilepsy and primary epilepsy. Secondary epilepsy is commonly caused by trauma and other factors. It is recommended to review in the local neurology department, improve relevant tests, and provide additional antiepileptic treatment based on different symptom manifestations.
