Patient's question:
Doctor, I have had epilepsy for about twenty years. Now I suddenly had a seizure, lost consciousness, and foamed at the mouth. It lasted for about half an hour. Because I was alone outside, my family was worried and asked me to check on them, so I want to consult which hospital is the best for treating epilepsy.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, it seems that epilepsy is caused by abnormal discharges of neurons, which can recur at any time. During an episode, the patient may experience unconscious convulsions, which can lead to irreversible brain damage or even harm to oneself or others. It is recommended that you visit a formal hospital's psychiatric department for further and thorough examination to identify the cause of epilepsy, check for conditions such as intracranial tumors or cerebral arteriovenous malformations, and receive additional treatment. Avoid emotional excitement and overwork.
