Patient's question:
My uncle developed epilepsy two years ago. His epilepsy has been stable ever since, with very few recurrences. When he does have a recurrence, it is usually accompanied by symptoms such as twitching, foaming at the mouth, and rolling of the eyes. However, before each recurrence, he experiences dry retching. Hello, does dry retching occur during an epileptic seizure?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is caused by abnormal discharges of brain neurons, which can lead to symptoms such as sudden loss of consciousness, nausea, vomiting, and twitching of the limbs in patients. This disease requires long-term antiepileptic drug treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Patients should maintain a calm mood at all times, avoid emotional excitement, not overexert themselves, follow a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. They should also not smoke or drink beer.
