Patient's question:
I am a person with epilepsy. I have had epilepsy for twenty years. My condition is well-controlled, and I haven't had any episodes in the past two years. I recently finished working at a company with a heavy workload and often need to work overtime. Can people with epilepsy work overtime and drink coffee?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is not recommended to work overtime and drink coffee, although your daily life is quite busy. When you finish work at the company and the workload is heavy, it is also not advisable to drink coffee continuously. Because drinking coffee can not only cause arrhythmia but also lead to the recurrence of epilepsy, so it is not recommended to drink coffee in this situation. Moreover, it is necessary to pay attention to rest. Finally, wish you a speedy recovery.
