Patient's question:
I am a male, 50 years old. Two days ago, I fainted and had another episode of foaming at the mouth, suspecting I might have epilepsy. I would like to ask you, doctor: Is there any equipment available now that can confirm whether I have epilepsy? And if I do have this condition, what treatment should I follow?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a disease caused by abnormal discharges of brain neurons, which is a type of neurological disorder. Generally, epilepsy can be diagnosed through clinical symptoms of epilepsy and careful examination of video electroencephalograms. If there are recurrence symptoms similar to epilepsy, you can undergo a video electroencephalogram examination in the neurology department for diagnosis. It is recommended to take antiepileptic drugs regularly under the guidance of a physician.
