Patient's question:
I am a patient with deep sleep epilepsy. I am usually suddenly woken up during a nap, and then I start having convulsions. It has been about 5 years. Over these 5 years, I haven't had a good night's sleep. I need to get treated for this. I would like to ask how deep sleep epilepsy is treated?Doctor's answer:
It took you five years to think about treating epilepsy, and I have to say your behavior is extremely wrong. Epilepsy generally requires medication and treatment as soon as it starts to recur, in order to effectively control the condition. This is known as early detection and early treatment. I strongly suggest you immediately go to the neurology department of a hospital to make an appointment for a follow-up visit. Start taking anti-epileptic medication that is suitable for your condition as soon as possible and take it consistently for the long term, without interruption.
