Patient's question:
I have been treating epilepsy for a long time, but it has reappeared recently, and the headache will persist for a period of time. I want to ask if the headache is due to epilepsy or insufficient blood supply?Doctor's answer:
Recurring headaches may not necessarily be due to poor brain blood supply, nor are they always triggered by epilepsy. They could also be caused by a brain lesion. If you experience severe headaches again, it's best to go to the hospital promptly for a brain CT scan. If the issue is related to brain blood supply, you should take medications to stabilize microcirculation for treatment. Epilepsy is caused by abnormal electrical pulses in brain cells, leading to transient brain dysfunction, which can also result in fainting. However, the specific pathogenesis is different.
