Patient's question:
Recently, I've occasionally felt involuntary muscle twitches in my body, and I also wake up from my nap during the day. Every morning, there are also some bubbles in my throat, and I'm worried that I might have epilepsy. So, what are the diagnostic methods for epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
The diagnosis of epilepsy is primarily based on brain CT or MRI, as well as electroencephalography, after a comprehensive evaluation of symptoms. It is recommended to promptly visit the neurology department of a hospital for a targeted and thorough examination, which will help clarify the diagnosis and guide symptomatic treatment. Specific treatment methods should be discussed and confirmed with the attending physician. The flexible use of medication should be conducted under the guidance of a doctor. Long-term medication can reduce the frequency of epilepsy recurrence, so regular check-ups are very necessary.
