Patient's question:
Doctor, my roommate has always been very healthy and loves to be active, going to the gym or running every day. But recently, he has been having seizures without any warning signs. When taken to the hospital, he was diagnosed with epilepsy. I never imagined that someone as physically healthy as him could get epilepsy, so I want to know what epilepsy is.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the patient's epilepsy seizure is caused by abnormal pulses of brain neurons. This condition is generally common in traumatic brain injuries, intracranial aspiration, or intracranial tumor compression, among others, all of which can lead to such epilepsy seizures. Therefore, if the patient experiences this condition again, symptomatic treatment with sedative drugs should be administered to stop the epilepsy seizure, along with long-term oral medication to control epilepsy.
