Patient's question:
Doctor, I am currently 26 years old, male. Lately, I don't know why, I was actually diagnosed with epilepsy. I am really speechless, I don't even know how I got this disease. Is epilepsy fatal? Is epilepsy fatal?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is generally not life-threatening, but if severe seizures lead to respiratory failure, electrolyte imbalance, and damage to various organ functions, it may affect the patient's life. Epilepsy usually involves sudden, uncontrolled seizures that can naturally subside within a few minutes, especially when medication is used regularly. Therefore, it is recommended to consult a neurology department in the hospital for diagnosis and then take medication regularly.
