Patient's question:
Doctor, my relative is now 35 years old and a woman. Sometimes I often go to her house to visit. Her family said that she seems to have epilepsy. I want to ask what precautions should epilepsy patients take in daily life? Are there any symptoms before a seizure?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that can be classified into many different types, such as grand mal seizures and petit mal seizures. Different types have different symptoms. During a grand mal seizure, a person may roll their eyes back, foam at the mouth, lose consciousness, and lose control of their bladder and bowels. Petit mal seizures are much milder in symptoms and require treatment and medication under the guidance of a neurologist. In daily life, it's important to avoid emotional excitement, maintain good medication control, and have regular follow-up check-ups.
