Patient's question:
A while ago, I felt some language barriers and often found it hard to express myself clearly. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and found out it was a stroke, but I had also experienced epilepsy symptoms before. Now, I really don't know what to do. How should the treatment for both stroke and epilepsy be most effective?Doctor's answer:
Patients with cerebral infarction may leave behind sequelae after clinical treatment. For epilepsy patients, in addition to taking oral medications to prevent cerebral infarction in daily life, they can also take antiepileptic drugs for treatment. The epilepsy caused by clinical diagnosis is primarily based on grand mal seizures. Clinically, drugs such as carbamazepine or sodium valproate can be taken for prevention and treatment. The specific oral administration method must be carried out under the guidance of a local doctor.
