Patient's question:
I found that I keep having tics, and it turns out I have epilepsy. I want to understand, is epilepsy life-threatening?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you described, if effective treatment measures are not taken to intervene in the condition of epilepsy patients, the further progression of the disease may lead to the recurrence of serious complications such as respiratory infections, cerebral edema, and respiratory acidosis. In severe cases, it can be life-threatening and must not be taken lightly. In the clinical diagnosis of epilepsy, treatment primarily focuses on the use of internal medicine drugs, including phenytoin, carbamazepine, sodium valproate, and gabapentin.
